Signage, Gift ware, 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. Our skilled graphics department team can design for you, or use your supplied design. Your designs can be supplied as 'clean etched' items or with paint infill to your colour specification.

Only the highest quality 

Etch Tech have developed an advanced process which allows the surface etching of curved surfaces and other complex shapes that in the past have proved too difficult. This technique was recently used to etch a well known high street logo onto stainless steel clothing racks after they had been fully assembled and welded. 
 
Etched brass components have long been the mainstay of model trains and boats and whilst the bulk of this type of work is supplied to retail specialists (we may have etched your favourite kit!), Etch Tech are pleased to take commissions from modellers involved in unique projects. Our experienced designers will be able to assist you with your requirements.
