Etched Metal Parts & Photo Etching Services

Microphoto was created in 1965 when the founders realized the need and importance for a company that could provide high-quality, cost-effective Photo Chemical Machining (PCM) to a rapidly growing marketplace. As an industry leader, they have now been providing quality services to satisfied customers for over 50 years.

The unique PCM process creates metal parts that, unlike traditional stampings, are burr-free, and without any recast layers that can result from Laser or WEDM processing. Microphoto can produce parts and features as small as .005" and up to 24" x 48" or larger. They can process a wide variety of materials in any temper from .0005" to .250" thick, including most Copper alloys (Beryllium Copper, OFE Copper, Phosphorus Bronze, Brass, etc.), Stainless Steel, Low and High Carbon Steels, Nickel, Aluminum, Flapper Valve Steel, Inconel, and many others.

Microphoto also provides "chemical milling" services that can reduce your stock material thicknesses to custom thicknesses as required. With their vast secondary process network, they can also provide "total project management" including NADCAP approved sources for heat-treating, plating, anodizing, passivation, and NOT requirements. They serve a wide variety of industries, including aerospace, defense, medical device, electronics, automotive, decorative, and others.
