precision in Aerospace and Defence
Major technological advances in land, sea and air have increased demand for aerospace-grade metal components with dimensions and tolerances on the micro-scale.
This is one of the most demanding industries in terms of precision, accuracy, performance and safety. It requires the production of lightweight, complex and intricate components that must be able to withstand extreme conditions such as high altitudes, extreme temperatures and pressures.
high precision for Aerospace and Defence
The aerospace industry requires parts that are highly precise and accurate, with tight tolerances and complex geometries. Chemical etching from Tecan is a micro precision manufacturing process that can produce parts with tight tolerances and extremely fine features at micro-scale. The process can produce parts with an accuracy of up to +/- 10μm, making it an ideal choice for manufacturing aerospace components such as:
- heat exchangers
- contact springs
- lead frames
- electrical connectors & contacts
- RFI/EMC shielding
- washers, shims & spacers
- fuel nozzles
- turbine blades
- engine components
how chemical etching helps
Widely used across a range of high-tech industries, chemical etching from Tecan meets your precision metal part needs. Complex, burr and stress-free components can be produced from your ideas into reality in a matter of days. Think how that could revolutionise your prototyping concepts. Then understand how easy it is to scale these concepts for industrial level manufacturing.
Key benefits:
- reduce costs by up to 50%
- fast production time (hours rather than weeks)
- versatility of materials and geometries
- improved mechanical properties
