Advantages
- Thickness: E-Fab mesh is available in a wide range of thicknesses to suit the design requirements of each specific application. When strength is a concern, this process allows TMP to produce a product at greater thicknesses than woven wire or even other electroforming techniques. Alternatively, E-Fab mesh can be produced at very fine thicknesses down to 10 microns.
- Non-woven: Unlike woven wire mesh, E-Fab mesh is a single, flat piece of metal. By eliminating the criss-cross wires, E-Fab mesh will not trap particles...making cleaning more efficient. Additionally, light transmission can be maintained within a ±2% transmission tolerance.
- Corrosion resistance: Produced from 100% pure nickel with no plating to wear off, electroformed mesh has natural corrosion resistance that will not diminish with time.
- Custom high-temperature option: Through a custom-developed process, E-Fab mesh can withstand temperatures exceeding 500°C for decontamination and tensioning requirements.
- Custom manufacturing: E-Fab mesh by TMP is highly customizable by variations in wire width, hole size, thickness, hole shape and overall shape. A nearly limitless number of product configurations are available. Furthermore, TMP’s cutting edge photolithography manufacturing techniques allow customizing to occur without long delays or high prices.
