Decorative from Etch Tech

Signage, Giftware, Decorative and Model Engineering.

A feature of Chemical Milling which is difficult and expensive to replicate by any other manufacturing technique, is the ability to etch complex surface detail to a high degree of accuracy. The potential of this process was quickly realised for use in metal signage followed very rapidly by other applications which require surface detail in relief.

Etch Tech, have a wealth of experience in producing items ranging from 2.5mtr long signs through to the most delicate frets of model parts. By utilising both P.C. and Mac graphic programs our graphics department gives you the option to design in your preferred package safe in the knowledge we will be able to use your file. Your designs can be supplied as 'clean etched' items or with paint infill to your colour specification.

After an intense R & D programme Etch Tech have now developed a process which allows the surface etching of curved surfaces plus items which in the past have proved too difficult. This technique was recently used to etch a well know high street logo onto stainless steel clothing racks after they had been fully assembled and welded. Although this was not ideal method of manufacture it did allow the customer to modify their original design without having to remake the entire batch.

Etched brass components have long been the mainstay of model trains and boats although the bulk of this type of work is supplied to retail specialist (we may have etched your favourite kit) Etch Tech are pleased to take commissions from modellers involved in unique projects, our flexibility of drawing packages puts us in a prime position to assist you with your requirements.
