Photo Chemical Etching
What is Photo Chemical Etching?
Photo Chemical Etching, also known as Photo Chemical Milling (PCM), is a precision process for the production of thin metal parts. The etching process utilizes an acid etchant spray to dissolve metal leaving only the desired part geometry. This process imparts no new stresses to the material.
