description Because of its versatility and ability to work with difficult materials, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has become an essential tool in many different industries. It can produce precise shapes and intricate details. EDM has transformed fabrication processes in a variety of industries, including aerospace and electronics, medical implants and surgical instruments, and the shaping of small components. Its capacity to machine undercuts and deep cavities with little material removal makes it ideal for producing complex geometries that would be challenging or impossible to accomplish with conventional machining techniques. Several attempts have been carried out to solve the optimization problem involved in the EDM process. This paper emphasizes optimizing the EDM process using three metaheuristic algorithms: Glowworm Swarm Optimization (GSO), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The study's outcome showed that the GWO algorithm outperformed the GSO and WOA algorithms in solving the EDM optimization problem and achieved the minimum surface roughness value of 1.7593µm.
