Technical Guide
What Drawings Are Needed For EDM Quote?
Prepare EDM drawings with material, tolerance, finish, quantity and inspection details before technical review.
EDM Feasibility Notes
We review EDM feasibility for the selected material using the drawing geometry, conductive material condition, tolerance, surface finish, quantity and inspection requirements.
Technical Explanation
This guide helps prepare EDM drawings by reviewing material conductivity, process access, tolerance, surface finish and inspection requirements.

Recast Layer / Surface Integrity Notes
Surface integrity, recast layer, micro-crack risk, post-processing and inspection depend on the material, EDM process, geometry and machine setup.
Technical Review Checklist
| Concept | What Drawings Are Needed for EDM Quote? |
|---|---|
| How we use this guide | We use these points to discuss EDM process fit before confirming the production approach. |
| Drawing review | We confirm material conductivity, feature access, geometry, thickness, tolerance, surface finish and inspection method from your drawing. |
| Project details | Please include drawings, material grade, critical dimensions and any required inspection or surface-integrity controls. |
Inspection and Capability Reference
Inspection planning may include dimensional measurement, optical measurement, surface roughness checks and report requirements according to the drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What files should be sent for EDM review?
Send 2D or 3D drawings with material grade, quantity, tolerance, surface finish and inspection requirements.
Which dimensions should be identified as critical?
Identify critical dimensions, datums, fits, slot widths, inside radii and functional surfaces on the drawing.
Why are material and heat treatment details needed?
Material grade, supplied condition and final hardness affect EDM strategy, distortion risk and inspection planning.
Can an early review use draft drawings?
Draft drawings can support early technical review, but final quotation should use released drawings and confirmed requirements.
What inspection details help quotation?
Include required reports, measurement methods, surface roughness targets and material certificate needs.
