Our ISO accredited copper etching service offers a fast, cost-effective alternative to traditional copper machining technologies.

Why etch copper?

Due to their reflective nature, copper-based alloys have proven difficult to laser cut, often compromising material integrity.

Likewise, the impact forces of stamping and water-jet cutting can affect material flatness and quality of cut.

Chemical etching copper ensures burr-free, stress-free, flat components without altering material integrity.

Suitable copper and copper etching alloys

Etched copper components

We chemically etch thousands of copper-based components each month for a wide range of engineering applications from the automotive, electronics and precision engineering sectors.

As copper is highly conductive, durable, ductile and malleable, it is well suited to 2-D and 3-D electronics components such as connectors and contacts

Typical components include:

• Contacts, pins, terminals, and connectors for electronics devices
• EMI/RFI shielding cans
• Fingerstock gaskets
• UHF/microwave antennas 
• Lead frames
• Busbars for electric power distribution
