Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)

UNMATCHED EXPERIENCE. WORLD-CLASS ACCURACY.

With 40 years of experience in EDM, Norman Noble leads the industry in EDM capability and capacity.

Wire EDM machine

LEADING EDM EXPERIENCE AND CAPACITY SINCE 1977

Electrical Discharge Machining is used in medtech manufacturing for parts made from exotic materials with critical features that cannot be manufactured using traditional machine tool equipment. EDM is a non-contact machining process that provides accuracy and repeatability of +/-.0001”, and can be used in making recessed or angled cuts.
