Etch Tech Ltd - Chemical Etching - Metal Etching - Photo Chemical Machining

We are a family-owned, chemical etching business in Cambridgeshire supplying precision components worldwide. As a specialist chemical etching company, we manufacture an extensive variety of customer specific precision components.

Our chemical etching, also known as chemical milling services, offer a variety of advantages over traditional machining or stamping methods. Chemical etching allows for lower costs and rapidly manufactured tooling. Chemically etched components are also free from mechanical stresses and burrs.

We are a well-established, globally recognised metal etching company. With our metal etching capabilities and services, we produce precision metal components to the highest standards.

With our metal etching and all other services, we guarantee a very competitive price structure for the complete manufacture on all batch sizes.

With our photo chemical machining services, we manufacture the finest quality high precision fine gauge sheet metal components.

As experienced and dedicated photo chemical machining specialists, we can produce precision components to match all requirements and specifications, no matter how unique or complex.

We provide EMC/RFI shielding solutions. Chemical milling is an ideal solution for EMC/RFI shielding.

Etch Tech is the ideal solution for manufacturing shielding cans.  By utilising half etched bend lines there is no requirement for form tooling and its associated upfront cost.  The same technique employed to manufacture bend lines enables you to specify your part number or company logo to be added, at no extra cost. 

Being suitable for both through hole and surface mount  applications there is no longer the need to “adapt and make do” even for prototype applications. Etch Tech can be relied upon to supply a custom made product quickly and economically.

As a leading UK etching company, we offer the niche service of curved surface etching. The majority of UK companies in the same field still only offer flat surface etching. We are innovators of curved surface etching. Although we still work extensively with flat surfaces, we are a unique source for etching on curved surfaces.

We specialise in the surface etching of decorative panels and signage. For the etching of decorative panels and signage, we utilise advanced surface etching techniques, offering you an economic solution for manufacturing high quality and durable signs.

It is now becoming common practice to surface etch decorative architectural panels, giving the option of either the design or the background being in relief.  These signs or panels can be further enhanced with paint fill to the colour or colours of your choice.  Recent projects include designs ranging from those fitting onto a pinhead though to door sized panels.
