EDM in Canada
Some features no spinning cutter can produce: a perfectly sharp internal corner, a cavity in fully hardened steel, a deep narrow slot. EDM makes them by eroding metal with electrical sparks, never touching the part, which is why it is indispensable to tool, die, and mould work and to high-precision detail.
That is a Canadian specialty. Windsor, Ontario is one of North America's leading mould-making centers, home to the Canadian Association of Mouldmakers, and Canadian firms have held the top continental rankings1. Wire EDM holds very tight tolerances and sharp corners on hardened material, and sinker EDM produces blind cavities and complex pockets in tool steel.
