WHAT WE DO
Engineering-Driven Edm Partner
Carbide Products' wire EDM services enable the production of intricate geometries and tight-tolerance components that conventional machining can't achieve. Sharp internal corners, fine profiles, and ±.0001" accuracy — all without introducing mechanical stress or distortion, even on fully hardened materials.
Engineering Partnership
Our wire EDM team integrates seamlessly with CNC machining, grinding, and brazing. We work directly with customer engineering to manage dimensional relationships between operations, optimize processing sequences, and ensure the final component performs as designed. One facility. Complete control.

Frequently Asked Questions
What advantages does wire EDM provide over conventional machining?
Wire EDM creates complex geometries, sharp internal corners, and tight tolerances without mechanical stress — ideal for hardened materials and precision tooling where conventional cutting would introduce distortion or simply can't reach.
What materials can be machined with wire EDM?
Any electrically conductive material: carbide, hardened tool steels, stainless steels, copper, and specialty alloys — regardless of hardness.
Can you support production quantities with EDM?
Yes. We support both prototype and production quantities with repeatable process control and consistent results.
Do you provide engineering support for EDM projects?
Yes. Our team works with customers to optimize geometry, improve manufacturability, and determine the best manufacturing approach — often coordinating EDM with machining and grinding in a single workflow.
