Our process
Photo Chemical Machining (PCM) is a technology for cutting and engraving of a wide variety of metal stocks. This etching process is also known as Chemical Milling, Chemical Etching, or Photo-Etching, and is a great alternative to laser cutting and abrasive jet for making thin and/or intricate parts with thin walls. More about how etching works.
