Photo Chemical Machining Shouts to Make Itself Heard
Photochemical machining has long
stood in the wings, while more
conventional metalcutting disciplines
have enjoyed center stage. Recently,
however, photochemical machining
has made its move toward the
spotlight.
The industry’s biggest obstacle to
greater notoriety continues to be an
inability to toot its own horn loud
enough. When engineers think sheet
metal fabrication, they consider
stamping almost exclusively, even
though the parts could be made
cheaper and better with photochemical
machining.
