EDM Cost Factors
EDM cost is driven by setup, cut length or cavity volume, depth or height, pass count, electrodes, material handling, quantity, and inspection—not part weight alone. A whole-part fine finish, unnecessary ultra-tight dimensions,…

EDM Design For Manufacturing Guide
EDM design for manufacturing starts by routing each feature from access, then assigning tolerance, finish, material condition, and inspection only where they change function. A part designed around one process name may…

EDM Quote Preparation Guide
EDM quote preparation is the process of turning geometry, material, quantity, quality targets, and inspection into one manufacturable package. Over-tolerancing the whole part or omitting material condition produces a slow, assumption-heavy quote.

Micro EDM Design Guide
Micro EDM design begins with a measurable feature, a practical electrode, and enough access for stable dielectric flow. Extremely fine electrodes increase wear, breakage risk, cycle time, and uncertainty at the finished…

What Drawings Are Needed For EDM Quote?
Send a controlled 2D drawing that identifies material, heat-treatment condition, datums, tolerances, functional surfaces, quantity, inspection, and revision. Add a STEP or STP model when geometry is complex; the model shows shape,…

What Files Are Needed For EDM Quote?
Send a 3D model for geometry and a released 2D drawing for requirements. STEP or STP is preferred for the model; PDF, DXF, or DWG works for the drawing. Missing files or…
