Unique Advantages

What are some of the unique advantages of photo-chemical machining?

Throughout the etching process, the original metal integrity is retained. This means no induced stresses are present. Chemical cutting produces clean, sharp, well-defined linear edges with no burr build up. (Burrs can later become a source of fatigue failure in highly stressed parts.) The process is easily capable of selectively texturing surfaces, producing milled-down pockets or channels to various depths on one or both sides, all at no additive costs.
