Features
Flexibility
You can import geometry from virtually any source and create new geometry, giving you a high degree of flexibility to use your data for reliable programming.
Full Associativity
Gives you the power to capture your work and build on your experience; once you program a part—any part—you can modify any element of a job and get updated wirepaths immediately, without starting over.
Verification
Easily ensure the toolpath motion delivers exactly what you intended with Mastercam’s wirepath verification tools.
Control
With fast, easy, and complete control over tab creation you can quickly add multiple tabs to any piece of geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions
A CNC Wire Cut Machine is a machine that can be controlled by CAM software to remove material from a part or piece of stock material using Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). Using a thin strand of superheated wire, CNC Wire Cut Machines are capable of very fine cuts and able to machine challenging shapes and materials with extreme accuracy.
CNC EDM wire cut, or EDM machining, is a method of machining using a computer numerical control Wire EDM machine to produce parts using a thin strand of superheated wires.
A wire EDM machine is programmed like all computer numerical control machines, with a CAM software. Software such as Mastercam converts a programmer’s instructions into the code that controls a wire EDM machine to cut parts to exact specifications.
You can use software, like Mastercam, to control CNC wire EDM machines. Using CAM software, you can increase accuracy, speed, and repeatability as compared to manual programming.
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) uses an electrically charged wire to remove material from a piece of stock material. EDM wire machining is used for conductive materials, very hard materials, and to machine parts with very small internal corners or parts requiring extreme accuracy.
