1. Reduce mold cost and development cost. It can be arbitrarily changed according to the designer's design requirements to achieve half-etching of the metal surface, increase the company's LOGO, achieve brand transformation, and use it against theft.
2. The sample development cost is low, the precision is extremely high, the precision can reach +/-0.02mm, the thinner the material, the higher the precision control.
3. The development cycle is short and the sample delivery time is fast.
4. Products with complex shapes can also be etched without additional cost. It can also cope with miniaturization and diversification. ZYH has the opportunity to realize customized services for different customers at home and abroad, instead of only doing large-scale products.
5. No burr, no pressure point, solve many problems in stamping, laser cutting and other processes. At the same time, the precision can meet the product requirements, even better than the above-mentioned processes, and there is no substitute.
6. The manufacture of various metal parts that cannot be completed by mechanical processing. Stamping and laser processing cannot complete the processing of fine and ultra-thin materials, while the ZYH metal etching process is easier to handle.
