Precision EDM Machining for Complex and Hardened Parts

Sharp corners, deep features, and hardened materials — these are the areas where traditional machining struggles.

At CS MOLDING, we provide precision EDM machining to help customers produce complex parts with high accuracy and reliability.

 

When CNC Machining Reaches Its Limits

If your part includes the following features, EDM is often required:

  • Sharp internal corners

  • Deep ribs or narrow slots

  • Hardened steel components

  • Complex internal geometries

In these cases, CNC machining alone may not achieve the desired result efficiently.

 

Typical EDM Applications

Injection Mold Components

  • Mold inserts

  • Cavity details

  • Thin ribs and deep slots

  • Venting grooves

EDM is widely used to create precision mold features that directly impact product quality.

 

Tooling & Die Parts

  • Punches and dies

  • Tooling inserts

  • Cutting profiles

  • Wear-resistant components

Ideal for hardened materials where conventional machining becomes difficult.

 

Automation & Mechanical Parts

  • Internal keyways

  • Narrow slots

  • Hidden internal features

  • Precision channels

EDM enables machining of geometries that cutting tools cannot access.

 

Micro & Precision Components

  • Micro slots

  • Fine edges

  • Small structural features

  • Connector parts

Perfect for small, high-precision features with tight tolerances.

 

CNC + EDM: The Most Efficient Approach

In most projects, the best results come from combining both processes:

  • CNC machining → for structure and bulk material removal

  • EDM machining → for fine details and complex features

At CS MOLDING, we integrate CNC and EDM to deliver:

  • Higher precision

  • Better reliability

  • Optimized cost and lead time

 

Why Work With CS MOLDING?

  • CNC + EDM integrated manufacturing

  • Experience with mold and precision components

  • Stable quality control on critical features

  • Engineering support for design optimization

Most EDM parts we produce are for mold inserts and precision tooling.
