EDM & Micromachining Financing

EDM and micromachining shops invest heavily in wire and sinker EDM machines, Swiss-type lathes, and metrology equipment to hold tolerances aerospace and medical device customers demand, while carrying long first-article inspection cycles and 45-to-60-day payment terms. Equipment financing for the next EDM or Swiss machine, working capital for tooling and material buys, and factoring against aerospace/medical receivables keep the shop running through qualification and production ramp.

You're holding tolerances in the tenths on wire EDM and sinker EDM work, or running Swiss-type lathes for medical device components, and a first-article inspection cycle alone can eat weeks before your customer even places a production order.

AS9100 or ISO 13485 quality system costs, CMM and optical comparator investments, and specialty tooling for exotic alloys all hit your books before an aerospace or medical device customer's 45-60 day payment terms kick in.

We work with funders who understand FAI (First Article Inspection) cycles, PPAP requirements, and why a receivable from an aerospace tier-1 or medical device OEM is dependable collateral even against a long qualification runway.

What underwriters will actually ask for

EDM & Micromachining files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • AS9100 or ISO 13485 quality certification status

    Underwriters want to know your current certification and registrar, since aerospace and medical device customers generally require it before releasing production orders, which affects receivable quality and timing.

  • Customer approval/qualification status by program

    Document whether you're in first-article inspection, PPAP submission, or full production release for each major customer program, since this affects when receivables actually start flowing.

  • Equipment list for EDM, Swiss lathes, and metrology

    Wire EDM, sinker EDM, Swiss-type CNC lathes, CMMs, and optical comparators all finance; specify manufacturer, control system, and whether the machine supports the tolerances your current programs require.

  • Aged accounts receivable by customer and program

    Aerospace tier-1s and medical device OEMs typically factor well due to strong credit, though long payment terms mean advance rates are set with that payment cycle in mind.

  • Trailing 12-month financials and part mix

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of aerospace versus medical versus other precision work help underwriters understand margin structure and customer diversification.

  • Specialty material and tooling supplier documentation

    Exotic alloys (titanium, Inconel, cobalt-chrome) and specialty EDM wire or electrodes often require upfront purchases; document supplier lead times for working capital sizing.
