Custom perforated metal sheets and mesh components for medical implants, automotive speaker grilles, aerospace air intake grilles, filtration sieves, coffee filters, filtration screens and more.
Photochemical etching is used extensively in the prototype to production manufacture of custom perforated metal sheets for precision parts, as unlike conventional machining technologies it offers unlimited complexity – you only pay for the first hole.
Manufactured in a single piece, photo-etched perforated meshes are slimmer, cleaner, more accurate, and have greater integrity, making them more robust during handling.
Where punch-perforated sheets are prone to distortion, etched sheets are burr and stress-free, with zero material degradation.
Perforated metal sheet materials
We can work from almost any metal, including those considered hard to machine or highly non-corrosive such as titanium and aluminium.
We supply:
- Stainless steel perforated sheet
- Nickel perforated sheet
- Copper perforated sheet
- Aluminium perforated sheet
- Titanium perforated sheet

Functionality inbuilt
As the chemical etching process removes metal simultaneously, multiple aperture geometries can be incorporated into perforated sheets, meshes and precision filtration components.
Far greater open areas are achievable than with woven meshes, with accuracy to ±0.025mm.
High aesthetic quality
Our photo-etched perforated sheets are 100% scratch-and blemish-free with engraved logos, legends and part numbers incorporated at no additional cost — ideal for decorative and architectural applications.
