Photochemical etching is simply a high-quality, fast-turnaround and low-cost alternative for machining flat metal parts. It offers you the precision and accuracy unavailable in other type of milling processes.

The conventional process meant stamping which required a matched punch and die. It caused stress, deformation and burrs. The photo etching has not only eliminated these problems, but enabled manufacturers to process parts accurately and much faster than before. It doesn't change the metal composition such as heat or mechanical stress on finished parts.

 Rep Graphic's Metal Etching is the answer to problems with parts and component design and production that you may have for precision equipment, electronics and other fields. Our Photo Etching Process can be performed on practically any types of metal including very thin metal sheets with dimensional tolerances requiring micro precision and offers part manufacturers advantages in several ways. We anticipate still widening areas of its applications in the near future.

 

What Are The Advantages:

Short delivery time Absolutely flat, no rough edges and burr-free Metal characteristics remain unchanged Parts that are thin, fragile, small or too complex in design to produce in ordinary stamping can be processed Best used for making prototypes to avoid high tooling cost and long lead-time of stamping mold fabrication
