Electrical Discharge Machining

Electrical discharge machining or EDM is a machining method that is mainly used for hard metals and other materials wherein the application traditional machining techniques is impossible or very difficult. 

Unlike traditional techniques, EDM can cut through pre-hardened materials such as steel without needing heat treatment to soften the material and then letting it re-harden afterwards. This makes EDM a very efficient method of machining.

EDM is grouped along water jet cutting, laser cutting and electrochemical machining as non-traditional machining processes.
