EDM Design Guidelines
These EDM Design Guidelines ensure your parts are manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively by highlighting critical design constraints and optimization strategies for each process. Adhering to these specifications prevents common manufacturing failures – such as wire breakage in Wire EDM, electrode wear in Sinker EDM, or hole deflection in Micro-Drilling – while maintaining micron-level tolerances (±0.004mm) and superior surface finishes. The guidelines directly address material limitations, geometric thresholds, and tolerance best practices to eliminate costly redesigns, reduce machining time by up to 30%, and guarantee first-pass success for complex geometries in hardened metals, carbides, and superalloys.
| Capability | Key Design Guidelines | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Wire EDM |
• Min corner radius: 0.1mm • Max thickness: 300mm • Min slot width: 0.25× material thickness • Avoid aspect ratios >20:1 |
Prevents wire breakage, reduces machining time by 30%, maintains ±0.004mm accuracy |
| Sinker/Ram EDM |
• Electrode clearance: 0.03–0.1mm/side • Draft angles: ≥1° • Max cavity depth: 150mm • Uniform wall thickness |
Lowers electrode costs 40%, achieves Ra 0.8 µin finishes, prevents undercuts |
| EDM Hole Drilling |
• Min hole Ø: 40µm • Max depth ratio: 30:1 • Entry surface flatness: ±0.1° • Space holes ≥3× diameter |
Eliminates secondary operations, maintains ±10µm positional accuracy in superalloys |
| Fine Wire EDM |
• Min feature size: 20µm • Max material thickness: 20mm • Avoid unsupported spans >5mm • Specify critical zones for Ra<0.1µm |
Enables burr-free medical components, reduces fragile-part rejection by 90% |
