Chemical Milling
Versatile, quick and cost-effective
Chemical etching uses TMP’s superior in-house photolithographic service in this subtractive milling process. TMP maintains a large inventory of metals in a variety of thicknesses, making chem-etch a quick-turn, cost-effective solution for a wide range of designs and applications. Chem-etching can be combined with electroforming and laser-cutting to produce highly complicated designs. Because of our complete in-house process capabilites, TMP can satisfy both prototype/small quantities and large volume production needs.
