Wire electrical discharge machining (wire EDM) removes material using electrical discharges between a thin wire electrode and an electrically conductive workpiece. The wire follows the required profile without the mechanical cutting action of a milling tool.
Wire EDM is useful for intricate internal and external contours, narrow slots and tooling components. It is often considered for hardened materials or shapes that restrict access for conventional cutting tools. Choosing between EDM, milling and other processes depends on the drawing, material and part requirements.
The material must conduct electricity. The process is used for tool steels, hardened steels and other conductive metals. Include the exact alloy grade and material condition so we can review machining suitability. Plastic cannot be wire-cut by EDM; CNC machining may be appropriate instead.
Before quoting, we review the overall dimensions, cutting height, critical tolerances and surface requirements. These affect the machining approach and work involved. Send the documentation so we can assess your specific workpiece against the available equipment.
Manufactured parts are checked in our measurement laboratory against the agreed documentation. Identify critical dimensions and any specific inspection requirements in your enquiry so they can be included in the manufacturing agreement.
01 / APPLICATIONS
Wire EDM is useful for complex profiles and tooling components. We assess suitability for each drawing.
Tool inserts, dies and punches with defined profile and fit requirements.
Internal and external profiles, narrow slots and shapes that are difficult to mill.
Components and prototypes with specified dimensions and tolerances.
04 / HOW TO ORDER
Describe your requirements, material, quantity and preferred date. Email your drawing or model separately.
We review feasibility, clarify the requirements and prepare a quotation.
After approval, we manufacture the parts, inspect them and arrange collection or delivery.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Send a technical drawing or 3D model, the material grade and quantity. Include tolerances, surface requirements and your preferred delivery date if available. If you do not have drawings yet, describe the task or contact us about reviewing a sample.
Use the form to describe your enquiry. Email PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP or STP drawings separately to info@vialco.si. Include the same company or contact email used in the form so we can match the documents to your enquiry.
Yes. Wire EDM is suitable for hardened steels and requires an electrically conductive material. We review the specific alloy, material condition, geometry and machining requirements with your enquiry.
We review feasibility against the overall workpiece dimensions, cutting height, material and required tolerances. Send a drawing with critical dimensions identified; machining requirements are agreed before production.
Geometry, cutting length, material, workpiece thickness, setup, quantity, tolerance and surface requirements all affect the cost. We prepare a quotation from your documentation.
You can enquire about a single component or prototype. We assess feasibility and pricing against the drawing and the setup required.
Lead time depends on the complexity, quantity and current workload. Include your preferred date in the enquiry; we agree a feasible schedule when preparing the quotation.
REQUEST A QUOTATION
Enter your email and a short description. Add the material, quantity and preferred date if you have them.
Lead time and feasibility are confirmed after reviewing the documentation.
