ON-DEMAND WEBINAR FROM MICROMETAL ILLUSTRATES THE VERSATILITY OF PHOTO-CHEMICAL ETCHING #Engineering #FreeWebinar #Photo-ChemicalEtching
micrometal GmbH (incorporating Etchform and HP Etch) has published a free on-demand webinar which explains the fundamental role that photo-chemical etching plays in the cost-effective, speedy, and repeatable manufacture of impossibly precise metal parts and components. (WEBINAR LINK)
Jochen Kern, Director of Sales & Marketing at micrometal says, “We are delighted to be able to announce the availability of our webinar, as it allows us to describe how compelling PCE is as a modern metal fabrication process. micrometal has evolved the already precise PCE technology, and has optimized the process so that today it offers levels of precision and tolerance attainment impossible using traditional PCE or any other more traditional technologies.”
micrometal GmbH has developed unique and proprietary refinements to the PCE process which out-competes alternatives in terms of control, accuracy, repeatability, speed, and cost, while at the same time producing parts with no stress-related material degradation or burrs.
PCE not only copes well with difficult geometries, it also allows design engineers enormous flexibility, facilitating the adjustment of designs right up to the point of manufacture due to the use of digital film or glass tooling. Such tooling is hugely less expensive and much faster to produce and alter than the hard steel tools needed for punching and stamping, making the process ideal for prototyping (as well as low, medium, and high volume runs). Also, as the tooling is transferred to metal through a contact printing process, there is no tool wear ensuring that the first part produced is identical to the millionth.
The webinar is available in both English and German, and essentially analyses the advantages and possibilities that PCE presents, the way the process works, key application areas, and what it is that micrometal can deliver that other photo etching suppliers cannot. Attendees can select the date and time that they wish to access the webinar, and there is the facility to ask questions and receive answers specific to particular applications.
