Photo Chemical Etching is one of the very few manufacturing techniques to produce (metal) precision parts without adding tension or burrs to the material. Although it’s not very well-known, etched parts can be found in almost all market segments. The process can be both a batch process for small to medium volumes and a reel-to-reel process for high volume.
During this presentation the different possibilities, advantages and applications of these two processes will be discussed, also in comparison to other manufacturing techniques.
