Commercial photochemical etching includes a  broad spectrum of applications: jewelry,  ornaments, commemoratives, signage,  advertising specialties, emblems, and insignia. Among the more complex applications for this  genre of photo etching are the creation of  intricate kits of etched metal parts to build  models of villages, railroads, ships and planes.

Photochemical etching is a versatile solution for many types of non-industrial projects.  By using “double process” etching methods, very intricate and detailed surface features can be etched on one or both sides of the sheet and then the “through” features such as the part profile and other effects can be photo etched.

• The use of half-etched folding lines allows the etched metal parts to be readily formed into a variety of shapes.
• Many products are photo etched in brass or copper, although stainless steel, aluminum and silver are easily etched as well.
• Photochemical machining is also used in architectural applications including lighting, signage, inlays, facades, coffers and more.
