The photo etching process offers a cost-effective alternative to stamping, punching, laser and waterjet cutting when machining precision components from thin gauge metals - up to 1.5mm thick - including stainless steel, nickel and nickel alloys, aluminium, copper and copper alloys and hard-to-machine metals such as titanium. When component integrity is critical, photo etching is often the only suitable metal machining technology as metal temper and magnetic properties are unaffected.
