Why choose photo etch milling (machining)?
Chemical Milling is a process where close tolerance exact size images can be transferred to almost any thin metal alloy (.0005- .062) and precision parts can be etched out.
Photo-Etching can produce almost any part in thin metal required by the industry and it can be produced quickly and economically with a high degree of accuracy.
The benefits of photo etch machining:
Fast Delivery- prototypes in days, production within a week. PCM eliminates the need for conventional tools and dies. This minimizes setup time.
Low Tooling Costs- Conventional tool and die costs for the stamping process can be very high.
Quick Revisions and Change- Our engineers work hand and hand with you to quickly revise or make any changes you need.
Use Most Metals- to name just a few: copper alloys, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, spring steel, magnesium, CR steel, nickel silver and most alloys.
Burr Free/Stress Free- eliminates the need for secondary finishing processes because unlike stamping PCM does not produce burrs or stress.
