Our Etched Metal Mesh is a high-precision perforated solution engineered through advanced photochemical and laser etching processes. By utilizing high-grade substrates including AISI 304/316 stainless steel, brass, and aluminum with thicknesses ranging from 0.05mm to 3mm, we deliver intricate patterns that meet the most stringent industrial requirements. The integration of photolithography masking and ISO 9001:2015 compliant acid baths ensures exceptional dimensional accuracy and burr-free edges for critical applications.
Designed for versatility and performance, this precision mesh achieves aperture sizes from 0.1mm to 20mm and open area ratios between 5% and 80%. Whether required for EMI shielding with effectiveness up to 120 dB or high-temperature environments up to 650°C, our etched metal mesh provides a zero-stress alternative to mechanical stamping, ensuring absolute repeatability and structural integrity across all custom CAD geometries.

We offer a wide range of high-grade materials including AISI 304 and 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance, brass and aluminum for specific conductivity or weight needs, and Inconel 600 for extreme thermal stability.
Unlike punching, photochemical etching is a non-mechanical process. It eliminates burrs, prevents material deformation (zero HAZ), and allows for much more complex geometries with higher dimensional precision (up to ±0.015mm).
Yes, our etched meshes are specifically engineered for EMI shielding applications, delivering effectiveness up to 120 dB within the 1–10 GHz range, compliant with MIL-STD-285 standards.
Depending on the material, our meshes can operate in extreme environments. Specifically, our Inconel 600 versions maintain stability from -200°C up to 650°C without warping or oxidation.
Absolutely. We specialize in custom CAD-driven designs, allowing for hexagonal, radial, or any bespoke pattern with 99% repeatability across high-volume production runs.
Yes, all our etched metal mesh products are certified to RoHS and REACH standards, and our manufacturing processes follow ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949 quality management systems.
