What is Photochemical Machining?

Photochemical machining (PCM) is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses photoresist patterns and chemical etching to remove metal precisely. It enables the production of highly detailed parts without burrs or mechanical stress.

Applications of Photochemical Machining

PCM is used to create components for industries such as aerospace, electronics, and medical device manufacturing. Typical applications include screens, lead frames, filters, and intricate metal foils requiring micro-precision.

Benefits of the Photochemical Process

This method allows complex shapes to be produced economically with tight tolerances. It’s ideal for prototypes and large production runs, offering consistent accuracy and smooth edges without the need for tooling.

Why Choose Experienced PCM Manufacturers

Working with skilled photochemical machining experts ensures consistent results and optimized part quality. Their technical knowledge and controlled etching environments deliver dependable precision for high-performance applications.
