EDM for cavities and hard-to-machine details

Where EDM fits

Sinker EDM can help form blind cavities, narrow ribs and hard-metal features where conventional tools cannot reach cleanly.

RFQ preparation

  • Highlight blind cavity depth and internal corner expectations.
  • Clarify surface texture or post-polish requirements.
  • Confirm whether electrodes or fixtures may be needed.

Engineering review

The review considers electrode strategy, burn area, material condition, expected surface texture and downstream finishing.
