Our name, ETCHFORM, says it all:
we specialize in the Etching (ETCHing) and Electroforming (electroFORMing)
of thin metal precision parts.
When etching metal parts, the desired pattern is protected, whereupon the rest of the material is dissolved in an acid. This can be applied to virtually all metals.
When electroforming, a carrier is provided with a protective coating in which the desired pattern is kept free and thereafter it is filled with a galvanic layer. We only do this in nickel, although with a high degree of accuracy.
We also provide connected treatments such as forming, surface and heat treatments.
Etchform is the number one specialist in the etching and electroforming of precision metal parts for among others high-tech applications.

(Precision) etching
very extensive choice of materials
thicknesses of 0.003 – 1.5 mm
