Custom EDM uses proprietary Clean Sinker EDMTM technology to perform sinker EDM using water-based dielectric fluid instead of oil-based fluids. Based in Silicon Valley, it specializes in applications which require a high level of cleanliness, such as semiconductor production equipment components.
It also works with difficult shapes and difficult materials. One of its strengths is its electrical discharge machining integrated workflow, which extends from electrode design and fabrication to prototyping and mass production.
Prototek is a precision electrical discharge machining company focused on wire EDM and sinker EDM. It can work with difficult-to-cut materials like hardened steel or titanium and achieves µm-level dimensional tolerances while maintaining precision over repeated production runs.
It flexibly accommodates prototype orders and small lot production and is well-suited for processing complex shapes and minute components.
Its services are being used in fields that require high levels of precision, such as the aerospace, automotive, and medical fields, and it has acquired ISO 9001:2015, AS9100D, and ITAR certification.
Precision Mold & Machining Services is notable for its sinker EDM services. It designs and fabricates its electrodes in-house and uses die-sinking to achieve tolerances of 0.0002 inches (approx. 5 µm) or less.
It performs precision benching of its electrodes to minimize grinding and provide high quality finishes on distinctive die shapes such as sharp corners and deep slots. It makes a great partner for companies needing high-precision electrical discharge machining for dies, jigs, or difficult-to-cut materials.
RAM Tool primarily focuses on wire EDM and sinker EDM and performs micro drilling (combining EDM with the use of small hole drillers).
It can perform high-precision processing of difficult-to-cut materials like hardened steel, titanium, and carbide, creating smooth finishes while reducing mechanical stress. Its services are highly suited for precision components used in the aerospace, defense, automotive, and similar fields.
New Jersey Precision Technologies performs high-precision component processing, primarily through wire EDM, sinker EDM, and small hole EDM, in the medical device, aerospace, automotive, and electronics fields.
Its wire EDM has tolerances of ±0.0001 inches (approx. 2.5 µm) and its sinker EDM has tolerances of ±0.0002 inches (approx. 5 µm). It can perform precision machining even for difficult-to-cut materials like hardened steel, superalloys, and conductive ceramic.

Blanda specializes in wire EDM, sinker EDM, and small hole EDM, performing high-precision processing even for hard materials and complex shapes.
It produces the smooth, burr-free finishes that are the hallmarks of electrical discharge machining, producing precision components at little cost and without the use of dies. It utilizes System3R robotic automation, so it is capable of handling mass production orders while maintaining consistent quality.
Saturn Industries is focused on electrical discharge machining, providing wire EDM, sinker EDM, small hole EDM, and micro EDM services. It can also coordinate with partners to handle micro EDM projects. It has received AS9100 certification and can perform precision component manufacturing for diverse fields, such as the aerospace, defense, medical, electronic component, and die fields.
XACT Wire EDM Corporation specializes in wire EDM, performing fine wire processing with a minimum wire diameter of 0.004 inches (approx. 0.1 mm). It supports tolerances of ±0.0001 inches (approx. 2.5 µm) with its over 45 EDM machines. It can meet a wide range of client needs, from prototyping to mass production.
It is already performing electrical discharge machining for precision components used in diverse fields, such as the medical, robotics, automotive, power generation, and die fields, and is ISO 9001:2015-certified.
First, confirm the potential partner's processing precision (tolerance and repeat accuracy). Then check if it uses technologies (such as wire EDM, sinker EDM, or small hole EDM) that are matched to the materials and shapes of the articles you wish to process.
It's also important to check its electrode design and fabrication capabilities and the equipment and environment management systems it uses to manage its processing fluids, filtration devices, and the like.
Furthermore, keeping in mind that it may not be possible to process non-conductive materials or that processing may be slow, select a company with a good balance of processing methods, cost, and turnaround times based on your materials, order quantities, and finishing requirements.
