What is a Wire EDM Machine?
A Wire Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) is a type of EDM technology that uses a thin wire as an electrode to cut intricate shapes and precise contours in hard metals and other conductive materials. This non-contact method is ideal for creating fine details and complex geometries with high accuracy. Wire EDM machines are frequently used for projects that demand precision, including molds, dies, and parts with tight tolerances in various industries.
How Much Does a Wire EDM Machine Cost?
The cost of a wire EDM machine can vary significantly based on the model, features, and brand. Our inventory of new and used wire EDM machines ranges in price from $14,500 to $144,000. When evaluating a wire EDM machine investment, factors such as cutting precision, workpiece size, and maintenance needs can all impact the overall cost.
