Precision And Accuracy Acid Etching EMI/RFI Shielding Cans With Variety Thickness

Low set-up costs and fast lead times make etching a go-to process in batch sizes of one to multiple millions.

The tooling for etching is digital, low-cost and can be modified quickly.

No heat or force is used when etching so mechanical properties remain unaltered and parts are free from stresses and burrs.

As component features are etched at the same time, part/feature complexity is not an issue. Flat blanks etched then diffusion bonded or brazed.

1. Save time and money

   Our assembly line approach reduces manufacturing time and allows us to save time by cutting unnecessary steps out of the manufacturing process.

2. Dedicated Team

   We have a dedicated team of fully qualified professionals who are on hand to deal with and complete assembly work requests from our customers.

3. Bespoke Packaging

   We offer assembly, soldering and spot welding, bespoke packaging, and also many other specialist bespoke customer requirements that our clients may have.

1. What is Photo / Chemical etching?

   A process to manufacture metal components in thicknesses between 0.005mm to 2.5mm, in virtually all metals the capability of producing complex profiles using photographic digital tooling created from customer CAD files.

2. Why should we use chemical etching?

   Chemical etching is a fast efficient, cost-effective method for the manufacture of small precision metal parts, the ideal manufacturing process for both development prototype and production quantities. Parts produced by chemical etching are burr and stress-free, with the complexity of shape unlimited, plus the complete flexibility to change the design at any time

3. What metals can you etch?

   We etch a wide range of metals from aluminium, beryllium copper, brass, copper, nickel silver, phosphor bronze, stainless steels, silver & developed special unique processes to etch technically challenging metals nickel superalloys, titanium, nitinol, molybdenum and many others.

4. Are you able to etch Aluminium, we understand it is difficult to etch?

   All grades of aluminium can be etched (including clad) through rigorous R&D we have developed our unique process to etch aluminium up to 2.5mm thick.

5. What is the thickest metal that can be etched?

   It depends on the metal type and part features but some parts can be up to 2.5mm thick.

6. What is the thinnest metal than can be etched?

   It depends on the metal type and part features but some parts can be as thin as 0.005mm thick.

7. What tolerance is achievable?

   Plus or minus 10% of the metal thickness is standard, this can be improved upon at extra cost.

8. What kind of electronic files can you accept?

   dwg, iges, dxf, gerber, step with fully dimensioned drawings or details of key features.
