Features of Photochemical Etching:

1. High Accuracy: Achieve intricate and detailed digital designs that are not possible with traditional machining.
2. Flexibility:Easily accommodate design changes and modifications without the need for expensive tooling.
3. Material Efficiency: Save money by reducing waste and optimizing materials.
4. No Mechanical Stress:Maintain material integrity by avoiding mechanical deformation during etching.
5. Scalability:Efficiently scale from prototype to high-volume production.
6. Cost effective:Eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming tooling
7. Cost efficient:Part complexity does not affect the production time
8. Rapid prototyping:Produce different designs at the same time without added effort.

How is the photochemical etching process?

FAQ:

Q1: What is photochemical etching?

A: A subtractive manufacturing process using UV light and etchants to dissolve unprotected metal areas, creating precise, complex parts without mechanical force or heat.

Q2: Why choose etching over laser/stamping?
A: • No thermal distortion (vs. laser)

• No tooling wear (vs. stamping)

• Burr-free edges and micro-feature capability (down to 0.01mm details)

Q3: What metals can be etched?
A: Stainless steel (most common), brass, copper, aluminum, nickel alloys (Inconel, Hastelloy), titanium, and specialty metals like beryllium copper. Thickness range: 0.01–1.5mm.

Q4: What tolerances are achievable?
A: • Standard: ±0.05mm

• High-precision: ±0.025mm (for critical clock components like escapement wheels)

Q5: How fast is prototyping?
A: Digital tooling enables:

• Prototypes: 3-7 days

• Mass production: 15-20 days

For over 13 years Xinhaisen has pioneered developments in photochemical etching, achieving standards admired by the industry and appreciated by a global customer base from a wide range of high-tech engineering markets.

Since found in 2012, in affiliating with our customers we have pioneered many new production techniques and methodologies in order to better serve their needs. It is these techniques that have advanced our capabilities further, enabling us to take what was once considered art and turn it into a science.

Now, we became China's leading photochemical etching specialist, with also the capacity of offering stamping and laser-cutting service. Our products include etching bipolar plates for fuel cell, speaker grills,  micro meshes&filters, tea&coffee infusers, shims&gaskets, Optical encoderdisk&strip, EMI/RFI shielding, Leadframes, connectors&contacts, printingstencils&foils and metal crafts.
