Wire EDM vs CNC Milling: Choosing the Right Process for Complex Profiles(Part 1)
Wire EDM and CNC milling each have their distinct advantages – the former achieves micron-level precision and sharp internal corners on hard metals through non-contact machining, while the latter excels at processing various materials and complex 3D surfaces with multi-axis capabilities. Selecting the appropriate process should be based on a comprehensive assessment of part geometry, tolerance requirements, material properties, and production efficiency, with the combination of both technologies often proving to be the wisest approach.
