Lub hauv paus chiv keeb ntawm kev siv hluav taws xob tso tawm rov qab mus rau xyoo 1770, thaum tus kws tshawb fawb Askiv Joseph Pov Thawj tau tshawb pom cov nyhuv erosive ntawm hluav taws xob tawm. Xyoo 1943, cov kws tshawb fawb Soviet B. Lazarenko thiab N. Lazarenko tau muaj lub tswv yim ntawm kev siv cov kev puas tsuaj ntawm cov hluav taws xob tawm thiab tsim cov txheej txheem tswj xyuas cov khoom siv hluav taws xob uas yog cov khoom siv hluav taws xob. Nrog rau lub tswv yim ntawd, cov txheej txheem EDM tau yug los.
Lub Lazarenkos ua tiav cov txheej txheem hluav taws xob tawm, uas muaj kev sib txuas ntawm cov hluav taws xob ua kom muaj qhov chaw ntawm ob tus neeg xyuas pib sib cais los ntawm ib qho yeeb yaj kiab ntawm cov kua tsis ua kua, hu ua dielectric. Lub Lazarenkos tau ua tiav ib daim ntawv ntawm kev tsis txawj tuag nrog lub voj voog no, uas niaj hnub no dais lawv lub npe. Niaj hnub no, ntau EDMs siv qhov kev tshaj lij ntawm Lazarenko circuit.
Nyob rau hauv 1952, lub chaw tsim tshuaj paus Charmilles, vim hais tias xav nyob rau hauv lub txim yaig machining, tsim thawj lub tshuab siv cov txheej txheem machining no tau nthuav tawm thawj zaug ntawm European Machine Tool Exhibition hauv Milan xyoo 1955.
Cov lej tswj thiab cov lus tawm tswv yim nrog ultra ceev servos tau ntxiv rau xyoo 1970's.
Niaj hnub no, tag nrho 3-D CAD/CAMS pub cov kev tswj ntawm lub tshuab nrog cov cai tsim los tswj txoj kev thiab cov yam ntxwv.
