Advanced Design Capabilities

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 automotive interior trim components.

Versatile Process

  • Our process uses chemical baths to etch pre-designed parts from thin metal sheets, while preserving the accuracy and clarity of the part design. The highly precise, scalable process is ideal for etching delicate features.

Endless Customizations

  • Our made-to-order process gives you the ability to pursue ambitious and attractive designs with complex shapes, curves and edges. Photochemical etching creates specific customizations that cannot be achieved through traditional manufacturing methods.

Prototypes to Production

With Switzer, it’s easy to go from prototype to high-volume production without additional costs or set-up delays.

Low-Cost Tooling

  • Photochemical etching requires minimal tooling and minimal material waste, making it an extremely cost-effective process.

Highly Repeatable

  • The process allows for repeatable shapes, as components can be produced with consistency and accuracy even when large numbers are required.

Extensive Quality Control

  • Whether you need a single prototype or a large run, every component is thoroughly inspected by a real person for defects and blemishes.

Our process is unmatched in precision. We will work with you to ensure your component allows your finished product to perform as needed. The first step is a finished component that meets the exact specifications of your design.
