Etching

Switzer was built on our photochemical machining process. This highly precise, scalable process is ideal for etching delicate features and achieves engineering feats unmatched by traditional fabricating and machining processes.

The Chemical Etching Process Explained

Chemical etching produces precision metal components accurately and quickly. The process is scalable and is suited for prototyping through production volumes. Animation courtesy of the Photo Chemical Machining Institute.
Sheet Metal Forming | Metal Roll Forming | Precision Metal Forming | Sheet Metal Roll Forming

Forming

Many parts require post-manufacturing forming to be ready for use. Switzer is able to assist with both hand forming and machine forming as requested.
Punched Metal Sheets | Punching Metal Process | CNC Punched Sheet Metal Components Manufacturers | Metal Punching Services

Punching & Stamping

For thicker metal sheets (>.003”), or lower volume jobs, Switzer is able to use punching as a cost-efficient manufacturing process to achieve your desired results without high tooling costs.
Precision Metal Fabrication | Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication | Soldering Sheet Metal | Assembly Manufacturing

Assembly

Often the final step before use is assembly. Switzer is ready to assist you with assembly, including soldering, prior to shipping so your parts arrive ready for their end-use state.
Advanced Metal Finishing | Industrial Metal Finishing | Industrial Metal Coating | Industrial Metal Plating | Metal Finishing and Coatings

Surface Finishing

If your parts require plating, electropolishing, or other types of finishes, Switzer is able to ensure these processes are completed prior to shipping, streamlining the process.

Every Project Starts with a Conversation

Chances are, your needs are specific. And our expertise is extensive. We want to learn as many of those details before taking on your project. When we know precisely what you need, we can develop a streamlined plan to produce it – in fact, we may be able to deliver more than you think.

Bringing Your Design to Life

Let’s bring your design to life so you (and we) can properly vet it. Our process actually allows for several designs to be arrayed on a single sheet, giving you more prototyping options than before. Producing your component exactly the way you need it is our only goal – often, prototyping is the best way to get there.

Our Superior Process at Work

Our photochemical machining process opens up a world of possibilities for your components. Every phase of this multi-step process is exceedingly precise and subject to stringent quality control – including 1st article inspections to guarantee dimensions. Our production processes are capable of both high and low volumes, and our production times are typically measured in days, not weeks, so you get your parts sooner.

On-Time Delivery Guaranteed

When it comes to precision parts, Switzer delivers. Specifically, we deliver in economical bundles or whatever packaging arrangements you request. We understand that accurate deliveries are critical to your performance metrics, so we make a simple promise: if your delivery is late, we pay the freight.

Start Your Project Consultation

When compared to stamping or forming manufacturing methods, our photochemical machining has efficiencies built into every step of the process to produce precise and complex metal bipolar plates and meshes with ease.
