Etched Parts for Automotive Industry

Fotofab's precise photochemical etching process creates extremely tight tolerances and configurations for thin metal parts used in the automotive industry. We etch high-quality grade materials with a photographically prepared mask applied to the work surface. The mask protects the underlying base metal while a tightly controlled chemistry removes metal atom by atom, creating exact-to-print parts in less time and at more affordable costs.

Fotofab proudly services US and International customers.
