Photo-etching or chemical
milling
The etching (or chemical milling) technology offers considerable advantages
compared to punching, laser-cutting and wire-erosion. Those advantages
include:
| • |
high precision |
| • |
virtually all metals can be etched |
| • |
final product free of burrs |
| • |
complicated shapes are (re)producible |
| • |
no deformation of the material |
| • |
thick as well as thin material can be processed |
| • |
economical tooling and parts |
Etching is a highly cost-effective method for prototyping, small
and (very) large series. The animation on the right describes the
process.
