    Computer Numerical Control Electrical Discharge Machining is considered to be a building block in contemporary precision engineering; these machines involve electrical discharges that help them remove the smallest amounts of material from the workpiece in highly precise details impossible with other kinds of traditional machining. A high-speed process using rapid electrical discharges between the electrode and workpiece melts the material with locally generated heat which then turns it into vapors, hence gradually eroding away.

    The “CNC” term refers to the automation of the process, with a computer being used to exactly control the motion of the machine, thus obtaining high precision and repeatability. This helps in producing parts with extremely tight tolerances-a requirement in such industries as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.

    CNC EDM machine are especially beneficial in that they can machine a variety of materials, including hard metals that are not easily machined by conventional methods. They also perform well in creating complex designs, which makes them suitable for producing molds, dies, and other components with complex features. Furthermore, since the process does not apply mechanical stress to the workpiece, it is ideal for working with brittle materials or delicate components.

    In summary, CNC EDM machines are a must for industries that require high precision and complex geometries, offering unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in manufacturing processes.
