EDM cutting is a widely-used and highly-valued manufacturing process, particularly for the production of prototype and low-volume parts, especially those made from difficult-to-machine materials like hardened steels, titanium, and exotic alloys.

Here are some key reasons why EDM cutting is so well-suited for these applications:

Complexity Capability: EDM can create intricate, three-dimensional shapes and features that would be extremely difficult or impossible to achieve through traditional machining methods. This makes it an ideal choice for producing complex prototype parts.

Precision and Accuracy: As mentioned earlier, EDM is capable of holding extremely tight tolerances, often within ±0.0005 inches or better. This level of precision is crucial for ensuring the fit and function of prototype components.

Material Versatility: EDM can machine a wide range of electrically conductive materials, including various grades of steel, stainless steel, carbide, and even some ceramics. This versatility allows Metalstar to support a diverse range of prototype and low-volume production needs.

No Tool Wear: Unlike conventional machining, EDM does not rely on physical cutting tools that can wear down over time. This eliminates the need for frequent tool changes, making EDM a cost-effective solution for low-volume work.

Minimal Part Distortion: The non-contact nature of the EDM process results in minimal mechanical stress on the workpiece, greatly reducing the risk of part deformation or warping.

At Metalstar, we have invested in state-of-the-art EDM equipment and developed extensive expertise in utilizing this technology for prototype and low-volume production. Our EDM capabilities allow us to quickly and accurately produce complex, high-precision steel parts, while also maintaining the flexibility to handle design changes and short-run requirements common in these applications.
