Photo-Machining Service Advantages:

Photo-Machining provides several advantages over conventional machining methods when modifying hard/brittle surfaces or when selectively removing materials from these surfaces:

• Little need, if any, for special tooling or fixtures.
• Ability to work with large parts up to 500mm
• Thin parts (down to 200µm) easily handled during the process.
• No expensive tools to wear out or replace.
• Little heat is generated eliminating the need for coolants.
• Less tendency for “chipped” edges or micro-cracking.
• No pitting or stray markings.
• No need for a subsequent deburring step.
• Quick turn-around between jobs.
• All virgin surfaces are fully protected during the Photo-Machining
• Includes precious metal coatings (both sides)
• Rapid design changes are no problem
  • Great for prototyping and mid-stream production design updates.
