High volume capabilities
Various surface finishes available
Design Guidelines:
Designs can be simple or complex and contain holes and bars of varying sizes and shapes. However the following rules need to be applied at the design stage:
The important rule to remember when designing your parts is that the smallest feature we can work with is 0.1mm (i.e. hole size / bar width), this is achievable in material with a thickness of 0.1mm or thinner. For materials thicker than 0.1mm we are able to produce holes and bars equal too or greater than material thickness.
Therefore if you require parts with bars of 0.3mm and holes of 0.2mm then we would need to use material thinner than 0.2mm to be able to successfully manufacture the part.
Alternatively if you need to use material in 0.25mm thick, the smallest feature we can work with is 0.25mm in size.
Parts can be made from a variety of materials and in thicknesses and we are pleased to be able to offer post etching services – forming, heat treatment and plating of parts.
