Photo-chemical etching (PCE) company micrometal has successfully showcased the capabilities of its next-generation precision metal processing technology following some recent work with a manufacturer of ophthalmic devices incorporating surgical blades. 

Photo-chemical etching (PCE) is the perfect choice for metal component production in the quickly-changing alternative powertrain supply chain. Its versatility and accuracy permits the fabrication of different prototypes no matter how many design iterations, even in shape memory alloys.

Germany-based micrometal GmbH said it is working with HP Etch and Etchform to improve its photo chemical etching (PCE) in an effort to provide companies with a highly precise metal component manufacturing process for a range of demanding industrial applications.

Germany-based micrometal GmbH’s novel photo-chemical etching process uses a special liquid resist system to obtain ultra-thin photoresist layers enabling a higher degree of precision in the chemical etching process, according to the head of sales and marketing Jochen Kern.
