Advancements in medical technology are creating a shift in focus away from treatment to prevention and early intervention. Fotofab photochemically etches various components for the medical industry that diagnose, treat, and repair life-threatening issues quicker and more efficiently.

Fotofab proudly services the US and International customers.

Fotofab's precision metal component fabrication solutions can help get your medical devices to healthcare professionals faster and more affordable.

Etching of Medical-Grade Materials

Fotofab specializes in photochemical etching of medical-grade materials, which is a precise process that allows for extremely tight tolerances and configurations not possible with traditional metal fabrication methods. A photographically prepared mask is applied to the work surface to protect the underlying base metal. A tightly controlled chemistry then removes metal atom by atom, resulting in parts exact to print.

Our Capabilities for the Medical Industry

  • Titanium etching
  • Exotic metal etching
  • Metal forming/bending
  • Metal finishing
  • Wire electrical discharge machining (Wire EDM)
  • Diffusion bonding
  • Laser cutting

  • Painting
  • Welding
  • Passivation
  • Electro-polishing
  • Reaming
  • Soldering
  • Custom packaging
  • Rapid prototyping

Chemically Etched Components for the Medical Industry

At Fotofab, providing clients with quality products is our utmost priority. We purchase material from reputable suppliers, verify compliance upon arrival, confirm accuracy with precision testing, and audit completed orders prior to shipment.

Some of the common components we fabricate for the medical industry include:

  • Filters
  • Snares
  • Surgical needle threaders
  • Sensor elements

Others components we etch are for monitoring devices, dental and orthodontic appliances, MRI systems, and veterinary instruments. Completed parts are packaged in clean-room conditions to reduce environmental contaminants.

We understand how wear can cause components to degrade over time and negatively impact the long-term performance of a medical device. Fotofab custom fabricates obsolete replacement parts or prototypes quickly and affordably to enable trials quicker so products reach the market faster.

Metals We Etch for Medical

We specialize in the chemical etching of high-performance and exotic metals for medical, including:

  • 300 Series Stainless Steel
  • Nickel Alloys
  • Titanium Alloys

ISO 9001:2015 Certified Manufacturer

As an ISO 9001:2015-certified manufacturer and service provider, Fotofab is dedicated to exceeding customer requirements in the production and on-time delivery of high-quality medical devices.
