E-FAB produces precision fine line machined parts using PCM, photo etching, and micro chemical milling processes. Contact E-FAB sales & engineering for a antenna quote now.

Here is a bit of an overview about the PCM processes: photo chemical machining, photo etching, and chemical milling involves the exact removal of material from a thin metal sheet by various processes. The thin metal parts can then be formed (precisely bent with etched bend lines formed at the exact desired bend locations on the metal) into a variety of complex shapes. Photo chemical machining and the micro chemical milling processes can precisely etch lines and spaces on all types of metals with detailed accuracies. Alloys such as: Kovar, nickel, brass, beryllium, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, and others are included for PCM fabrication by E-FAB.  This process is also used for creating specialty flex circuits, plus in manufacturing and engineering of other rigid-flex designs and rigid PCB technologies. This results in a burr free part with very close tolerances. Take a detailed view of the fabricated antenna elements example parts for details to give you some ideas of what can be produced using E-FAB PCM technology.
