Photo Etching
Advantages of chemical etching process:
- Achieving complex shapes with tight tolerances for samples or series
- Unchanged base material's characteristics such as mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties
- Burrs and stress free, no breaking point, no heat-affected zone
- Low tooling costs
- High flexibility in case of design modification
- Wide range of metals available in stock
Electroforming
Advantages of electroforming process:
- Unrivalled micrometric precision
- Extremely complex shapes with very low thickness
- Very narrow aperture achievable
- Burrs and stress free, no breaking point, no heat-affected zone
- Low tooling costs
- Black surface treatment available, dedicated to optical applications
Surface treatment
Special features of our surface treatments:
- MECACHIMIQUE is specialized in three surface treatments: black coating – gilding – nickel plating
- Our black coating absorbs light reflection in the visible spectrum
- Our gilding and nickel-plating processes are approved by the European Space Agency (ESA).
- We provide a large range of other surface treatments performed by partner companies.
