Etch Tech Ltd is a specialist
Photo Etching company providing the manufacturing of customer specific precision
components. Working closely with customers by providing technical assistance and
excellent customer service ensures we are able to offer the maximum advantage
from our Photochemical Machining techniques. Our core manufacturing process,
also known as Acid Etching, Photo Etching, Photofabrication , Chemical Milling
or Photochemical Milling allows you to benefit from low cost tooling. When taken
in conjunction with rapid manufacturing lead times and flexible batch sizes,
high precision etching is your ideal solution.
By employing Photo Etching (which does not involve mechanical contact) you
can specify the finest of features, which are often unachievable by alternative
manufacturing methods. Photochemical Machining does not add any mechanical
stress or processing burrs, resulting in a Stress and Burr Free component. A
typical application for fine work is specialist meshes and sieves.

The Chemical Milling techniques
employed by Etch Tech allow you to benefit from low cost tooling and rapid
manufacturing lead times. The flexibility of Photochemical Milling makes it
suitable for all batch sizes, from a 1 off prototype to full production
quantities. Unlike laser or water jet cutting which calculate cost on “cutting
path length” complex profiles or numerous hole arrays are produced by Photo
Etching at no extra cost. This is also the case with surface etched
identification numbers, company logos and half etched folding lines.
Our Chemical Milling services are not just limited to precision components, the
Etch Tech portfolio includes etched signage and architectural panels which can
be supplied either colour filled or in the natural state.
