Medical Dental
- High temp and high yield autoclavable stainless alloys
- Photo etching capable of producing very tiny parts at high precision
Photochemical machining is an ideal fabrication method for surgical and dental parts because it can produce very fine features and burr-free parts.
Many types of microsurgery blades are readily produced by photo etching as the inherent sidewall effect eliminates the need for further honing.
Photochemical etching is also used to produce a variety of flexible sensors, detectors, and circuits that have medical applications.
