Define the cut profile and the part datums
Wire EDM is a machining process for electrically conductive workpieces. A wire-cut part request should include the current profile, stock material and thickness, datum references and dimensions that control fit. Identify corner details, entry points or features that need separate operations.
For the service overview, see wire EDM machining. Our wire EDM article explains process considerations; this page focuses on preparing a custom part request.
Prepare a wire EDM RFQ
- Attach the current CAD and drawing revision.
- Specify conductive material, condition, thickness and quantity.
- Mark the profile, datums, critical dimensions and corner requirements.
- List finish, secondary operations and inspection records.
- State delivery destination and any customer-specific documentation.
Feasibility depends on the workpiece, geometry and acceptance requirements. We provide machining and custom parts only; we do not sell EDM equipment.
Confirm part acceptance
Identify the profile dimensions and how they will be checked. If the cut edge or surface condition has a requirement, include it in the drawing or purchase specification before requesting a quotation.
