As the demand for electronics grows, increased competition is driving down the costs of manufacture.

To remain competitive, manufacturers are looking to produce smaller, high precision parts, pushing the limits of traditional metal machining techniques. This means designers have had to look to new technologies in their quest for smaller, faster and cheaper components.

Miniaturisation, speed and economy
Photo etching is uniquely placed to meet the industry’s trend towards miniaturisation, speed and economy.

Part manufacture does not increase with complexity, which allows designers to focus on optimised part functionality rather than cost.

Using digital and easily re-iterated tooling rather than expensive and time-consuming steel tools, photo etching fits the low-risk product development strategy adopted by many electronics manufacturers and can move seamlessly from prototype to production in a matter of hours.

Trusted by the world’s leading electronics companies
Precision Micro has been at the forefront of electronics manufacture for over half a century. The company has been involved in a number of industry firsts, including steer-by-wire development for the automotive industry and lead frame etching for the world’s leading semiconductor packaging companies during the electronics boom of the 1990s.

Today, Precision Micro continues its association with some of the world’s leading electronics companies, supplying lead frames and weigh-reducing cooling plates to the semiconductor industry, EMI/RFI shielding for implantable defibrillators, surveillance UAVs and marine vessel positioning, lead frames for the world smallest reed relays and micro-connectors and contacts for medical devices.
