TURNING UP THE VOLUME ON CHEMICAL ETCHING


For cost-effective, high-volume manufacturing of precision flat or formed components, Photofab has become the first choice for many of the UK’s leading OEMs and suppliers. We deliver the complete solution for our customers, managed throughout by a dedicated account team, providing a fully traceable and reliable service.

Maintaining our SC21, ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001 quality processes, enables us to achieve the highest standards of production with over a 98% On Time Delivery record. When speed is of the essence, our 24-hour quoting, digital tooling, multi-chamber etching, and automated stripping line accelerates production.

Smarter prototyping


Photofab have partnered with so many companies to help get their prototypes off the ground. Chemical etching is an ideal process for prototyping, thanks to a number of factors. For one, many different prototypes can be printed on a single sheet of metal, reducing waste and cost. On top of this, iterating is made easy with our digital tooling, which lets us easily make any changes you require quickly and cost-effectively. In addition, our experts can advise you on the most appropriate materials to ensure your design can be made into reality and perform as expected.
