PRODUCT : RF MICROWAVE : FOTOFAB

FOTOFAB: High Precision Metal Parts Manufacturer
Fotofab was founded in 1967 to offer the cost and delivery advantages of photochemical machining to manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment for high tech industries - aerospace, microwave, automotive, computers, communications, medical and controls.
Advantages:
Speed
A phototool (tooling) for customers custom part can typically be produced in one or two days, allowing customers metal parts to ship in as few as three days. Design changes are easy to introduce during the process, thus hastening customer product's time to market and enhancing flexibility along the way.
Cost
Most phototools cost in the $300 to $400 range, thousands of dollars less than hard tools to produce equivalent parts.
Precision
The Fotofab Process offers the flexibility to produce unusual configurations to tight tolerances (within .0005"), including the capability of producing small holes and bars that are not possible with most stamping processes. Using state-of-the-art CAD, 1/4 mil resolution is routine. See typical applications of chemical etching.
The speed and low cost of the process make it an ideal technique both for prototypes and for production quantities of precision metal parts, even into the millions.
Consult our "Design Guide To Photochemical Machining" for several other design advantages inherent to the Fotofab process.
Specific services available:
