Learn More →Specialized configurations for simultaneous machining and maximum throughput.
Learn More →Purpose-built systems designed from the ground up for your specific manufacturing challenge.
Learn More →Precision tooling, filtration, and consumables to keep your machines running perfectly.
Learn More →We don't just build the machine we engineer your entire process.
Learn More →Aerospace manufacturing operates at the edge of what’s mechanically possible. Turbine blades, fuel system components, landing gear parts, and structural elements require geometries and surface finishes that conventional machining can’t achieve — and where a single out-of-spec part can ground a program.
EDM is the process of choice for the most demanding aerospace applications — no cutting force, no heat-affected zone, and the ability to hold tolerances in hardened titanium, Inconel, and nickel superalloys that would destroy a conventional tool. EDM Zap has been supplying and engineering EDM solutions for aerospace manufacturers for over 50 years.
From standard sinker EDM equipment to purpose-built multi-head systems for high-volume aerospace production, we engineer the machine and the process around your part — with full calibration, repair, and ongoing support to keep your line running.
Aerospace Applications
Cooling hole drilling, trailing edge profiles, and complex internal geometries in Inconel and nickel superalloys — EDM is the only process capable of holding the tolerances these components demand.
Injector nozzles, valve seats, and flow control components requiring micro-precision geometries in hardened stainless and titanium — machined to aerospace quality standards with full traceability.
High-strength steel and titanium structural components with complex internal features — EDM delivers the accuracy and surface integrity required for flight-critical applications.
Custom EDM tooling, fixtures, and jig components for aerospace assembly and inspection — engineered to the same precision standards as the production parts they support.

What's Included
3D cavity machining in hardened titanium, Inconel, and steel — no cutting force, no heat distortion, and tolerances held to the micron across the full production run.
Through-cutting complex 2D and taper profiles in flight-critical materials — exceptional surface finish and dimensional accuracy with no residual stress.
Purpose-built multi-electrode configurations for high-volume aerospace production — multiple identical features machined simultaneously to reduce cycle time and increase throughput.
When your part geometry or production requirement exceeds standard equipment capability, we engineer a machine built specifically for your application — designed, built, and validated in-house.
Regular calibration and preventive maintenance to keep your EDM equipment operating within aerospace tolerances — on-site across North America or in-house at our Montgomery, IL facility.
Full process documentation, calibration records, and material traceability to support your quality management system and aerospace certification requirements.
