Photochemical etching is the process of making sheet metal components to be used in a variety of applications. Using a photoresist – a light sensitive material – and etchants, selected areas of the metal are machined away using corrosion. While the process emerged in the 1960s, over the years the technology and industry have advanced […]

The process of photochemical etching is used to produce incredibly precise parts that would otherwise be impossible, or too costly to manufacture using more conventional methods. The process combines computer aided design (CAD), photography, chemistry and metallurgy to provide a precise, as well as cost effective method of producing thin metal parts quickly while avoiding […]

Chemical etching, also known as chemical milling, is the process of using acids, bases and other chemicals to dissolve materials such as metal and glass. Chemical etching provides not only great precision; it also allows great opportunity for customization of the desired products. Chemical etching can be used in a variety of applications, providing a […]

Over the last two decades, laser beam welding has become a major technique in the metalworking industry. When the technique was first developed it was largely used for exotic applications however, it is now used to produce welds for common items such as motor/transformer lamination, hermetic seals, hybrid circuit packages and battery and pacemaker cans. […]

Most technology in modern society including satellites, cars and cell phones are intricately built with thousands of small parts that need to function all together to work. Many of these small parts are made by fabricating metal alloys to precise measurements and specifications. Depending on the application, different manufacturing processes such as chemical etching, stamping […]
