How to Use the EDM Applications Hub

Use application pages when the part function matters as much as the EDM process. The same material can need different review points for mold tooling, medical components, EV tooling, electronics connectors or oil and gas parts.

Match the part function

Identify whether the part is a tooling insert, connector feature, prototype, fixture, cavity, slot, hole or inspection-critical component.

Check the material and geometry

Material grade, thickness, internal corners, blind cavities and through profiles decide which EDM route should be reviewed.

Define inspection expectations

Critical surfaces, datums, tolerance stack, finish requirements and report needs should be included before quotation.
