description Systems and methods for controlled and precise EDM manufacturing of a component are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes: a tank for holding a fluid; a first electrode array (104) in the tank, the first electrode array (104) including a plurality of electrodes configured to shape a workpiece (102); a workpiece fixture for positioning the workpiece at (102) least partially immersed in the fluid and proximate the first electrode array (104); a pulse generator (606) for creating an electric discharge between the workpiece (102) and the first electrode array (104) to remove material from the workpiece (102); a gap sensing circuit communicatively connected to the workpiece (102) and the first electrode array (104), the gap sensing circuit configured to monitor the electric discharge between the workpiece (102) and the first electrode array (104); and a computing device communicatively connected to the gap sensing circuit and the workpiece fixture, the computing device manipulating a position of the workpiece (102) in the tank relative the first electrode array (104) based upon data obtained from the gap sensing circuit.
