What Is Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)?
A non-traditional machining technique called Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) uses controlled electrical sparks to remove material from conductive workpieces. Complex cavities, shapes, and profiles that are difficult to accomplish with traditional machining techniques can be created using this method.
EDM is our area of expertise at Actco Tool & Manufacturing Co. in Meadville, Pennsylvania, where we create high-precision parts for sectors that demand intricate geometries and exacting tolerances.
