What is photo etching and chemical etching? Photo etching, also known as chemical etching or photochemical machining, is a highly precise, cost-effective metal machining process used to produce complex components from a wide range of metals.What is photo etching in 2021? In 2021, photo etching is the most popular industry term for the subtractive method, also known as chemical etching. The process is a multi-step operation using photo-sensitive material to transfer part images onto metal sheets before a chemical etchant dissolves the unwanted sections, leaving only the desired part dimensions.When is etching suitable for your application? When component integrity is critical, etching is often the only suitable metal machining technology as metal properties are unaffected. No mechanical force or heat is used during our etching process, meaning components are free from stresses and burrs.Is it possible to make photo etched parts at home? It is possible to make photo-etched parts at home with some special tools, but nowadays, it is cheaper just to buy the parts you need. All P/E parts are different – they are made from different materials – steel, nickel, brass, and are different in thickness too.
