Aluminum EDM in Canada

Canada is the world's fourth-largest producer of primary aluminum, smelted on Quebec hydro into some of the lowest-carbon metal available anywhere. EDM reaches what a cutter cannot, hardened steel, sharp internal corners, and deep fine cavities, which is why it anchors tool and die work, centered on Canada's mould-making capital in Windsor, Ontario.

The capability below reflects qualified Canadian shops that handle EDM in aluminum.
