Plastics EDM in Canada
When metal is too heavy, too conductive, or not chemically inert, machined plastics take over, and Canada has both a deep plastics industry and the petrochemical feedstock behind it. 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 plastics.
