Chemical etching is also commonly referred to as acid etching, photo etching, photochemical etching, chemical milling, metal etching, chemi etching, chem etch and photo chemical machining (PCM).
Chemical etching is a machining process that utilises chemicals to produce intricate components from a wide range of materials. This is done with a corrosive chemical (etchant), which is normally some form of acid and is used to dissolve unwanted material away to produce the final design. Our preferred etchant is Ferric Chloride (FeCI3).
Unlike other machining processes, the components produced by precision metal etching are stress-free with no burrs or rough edges and with no changes to the original material properties.
We have been at the forefront of etching technology for almost 20 years. This is because our unmatched chemical etching process know-how enables us to offer a fast, economical, quality-assuredmetal etching service for the widest range of metals.
