Chemical etching has long been applied in a broad range of industries and applications where high precision is needed. Complex components can be produced from ideas into reality, from prototype up to large scale production. Moreover, the process is suited to a wide range of materials; almost any metal can be produced with etching.
Applications of Chemical Etching in Medical
Veco has been working together with leading companies in the medical industry, delivering high quality and high precision metal parts. Applications of our products include micro needle, hearing aid, medical saw, medical blade, vascular stiffener, contact, grid, mesh and all kinds of electrical parts in medical devices. Combined with our other technology Electroforming and Laser technol;ogies, there’s even more applications in the industry that we cover.
Why Using Chemical Etching for Medical Applications?
With constant development of medical science, the medical and health care industry sees tremendous growth opportunities as well as challenges. Traditional manufacturing processes such as stamping, EDM, waterjet cutting, CNC machining, and laser cutting can no longer meet the demanding requirements the industry faces nowadays.
Chemical Etching, on the other hand, turns out to be the perfect technology that enables continuous innovative development in medical and healthcare application. Ultra-precise, complex, stress-free, and burr-free miniature components of bio-compatible materials can be produced in a matter of days.
Veco’s chemical etched micro needle is selected as one of the Top 10 Innovations at Medtec Europe 2016!
Our latest innovation in micro needling pushes the boundary of skin treatment and brings a higher level of quality in the industry. The bio-compatible micro needles developed by Veco feature ultra-smooth and sharp edges. Compared with the current industry level, Veco’s chemical etched micro needles are of much more preferable quality, resulting in much less skin invasion and contamination.
