What are the conditions for selecting etching processing?

This question is quite confusing for many people who are not familiar with etching processing.

Firstly, it is necessary to have a detailed understanding of the performance of the required parts and products, as well as the properties, thickness, hardness, and other data of the materials. Then, to prescribe the right medicine, attention must be paid to the following points:

1. The metal parts to be processed have complex shapes and irregular patterns or shapes. In this case, using mold stamping, wire cutting or laser cutting will have an impact on the material or product, such as changing the material properties, altering the flatness of the material, and producing many difficult to handle burrs, residues, etc. At this point, it is necessary to consider the etching process to solve the processing of complex shaped parts. A very thin stainless steel mesh is a typical example. The use of etching technology can reduce the difficulty of molding and processing costs.
