Wire EDM
C-Axis offers advanced Wire EDM capabilities for producing extremely precise, intricate geometries that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional machining. Our high-end EDM systems deliver exceptional accuracy, tight tolerances, and clean edges, making them ideal for complex medical device components and delicate features. Wire EDM supports both prototype and production needs with unmatched precision and repeatability.
Our Wire EDM operations are engineered for accuracy, stability, and detail. With advanced motion control, thermal management, and fine wire capabilities, C-Axis produces intricate shapes, sharp corners, and micro-features with superior consistency. Our skilled technicians and robust quality systems ensure that every cut meets strict medical device requirements, providing confidence for implantable, surgical, and minimally invasive applications.
Advantages:
- Ultra-tight tolerances for highly detailed and complex geometries
- Ability to cut hardened materials including tool steels, titanium, and other medical alloys
- Burr-free edges ideal for implantable and surgical components
- Exceptional accuracy and repeatability supported by advanced controls
- Fine wire capability for micro-features and delicate profiles
- No mechanical cutting forces which prevents distortion or tool pressure on small parts
- Excellent for intricate shapes such as contours, micro-slots, and sharp internal corners
- Consistent performance for both low-volume prototypes and high-volume runs
Examples of Wire EDM Medical Device Components
- Complex implantable component geometries requiring sharp internal features
- Surgical instrument parts with tight internal profiles or delicate shapes
- Micro-features such as slots, holes, or thin walls needing extreme accuracy
- Small mechanical components for minimally invasive systems
- Precision tooling, fixtures, and prototypes for device development
- Components requiring burr-free surfaces or extremely tight dimensional control

We look at C-Axis 360 as an opportunity for our customers to save weeks of development time by having their project team come into our facility. Here they are assigned a C-Axis team (an Engineer, Technician, and Machinist) to work with to complete multiple iterations in one sitting, helping to improve the R&D timeline. Instead of doing things in series, our customers can do multiple potential design iterations in parallel and save six or seven weeks in their NPD cycles. — Olson
