Mastercam will do the job for Wire EDM  but for 4 axis work the geometry needs to be manipulated and as I said before it is a much better CAD system. Mastercam does very well for 2D and taper and land cuts.

 

Esprit is far superior in bringing in solid files and programming the Wire EDM. Especially when the geometry in non planar. I don't like the cad side of Esprit at all.

 

 

I have been using both and now thinking of using Mastercam when I need to draw parts myself and then bring them into Esprit  to program.
