# 3D Shapes

3D shaping (or contouring) is the machining of material in three dimensions. Accurate and complex shapes can be created using die sinking and micro EDM milling. These techniques have the unique ability to create sharp angles on the inside. This is impossible with traditional machining that uses rotating tools.
