Photo Chemical Etching Service for Custom Precision Stainless Steel Mesh Photo Etched Mesh
Photo Chemical Etching Service for Custom Precision Stainless Steel Mesh Photo Etched Mesh
Our Photo Chemical Etching Service provides a high-precision solution for manufacturing custom stainless steel photo etched mesh with complex patterns, ultra-fine apertures, and burr-free edges. By utilizing advanced photochemical etching technology, we are able to produce metal meshes that cannot be achieved through traditional stamping, laser cutting, or weaving processes.
This process is especially suitable for applications requiring tight tolerances, uniform openings, smooth edges, and high repeatability, making it ideal for filtration, shielding, sensing, and electronic components.

Our Photo Chemical Etching Process & Capabilities
Photo chemical etching (also known as photochemical machining or PCM) is a tooling-free, non-contact metal fabrication process. The workflow includes:
-
High-resolution photomask design
-
Photoresist coating and UV exposure
-
Chemical etching from one or both sides
-
Precise depth control and pattern consistency
Key Advantages of Our Etching Service:
-
Burr-free & stress-free edges (no mechanical deformation)
-
Excellent dimensional accuracy for fine mesh structures
-
Complex geometries and micro apertures achievable
-
Consistent quality from prototype to mass production
-
Fast turnaround without hard tooling costs
We support prototype, small batch, and large-volume production with stable quality control.
