Fields of Expertise


We have amassed vast experience in the sub-contract wire erosion and CNC EDM industries on many prestigious projects.


  • Achieving the +/-2 µm tolerance and 0.2 Ra in titanium on a major satellite component for NASA utilising both CNC EDM and wire erosion
  • Produced by wire EDM and CNC EDM all the key features on the tantalum target on the Lucerne accelerator for neutron image experiments
  • Microscopic components for implantation in bio-mechanical hearing devices
  • Working on numerous petro-chemical projects in Inconel and super duplex materials
  • Development of wire eroding of the root section on the Euro fighter canard wings
  • Wire erosion of the Inconel bow fins on nuclear submarines
  • Wire eroding of the gas compressor blades in nuclear pumps with minimal recast area and minimal copper pollution to prevent copper embrittlement and cracking
  • Development of CNC EDM on production of femoral rasp for hip implants to tolerances of +/- 10 µm
  • Wire erosion of endoscopic components for ultrasound crack testing on assembled jet engines
