What is Titanium Etching?

Titanium etching is a subtractive method of manufacturing where we dissolve metal in selective ways with advanced oxidizing reagents. Using photoresist on titanium sheets, we are able to produce elaborate designs etched away with accuracy. 

 

In contrast to conventional machining, our procedure produces complex shapes, thin tolerances, and splash-free edges at the same time, ensuring both chemical and mechanical integrity of titanium.

Our Titanium Etching Capabilities

In TMNetch, we have installed highly developed facilities in order to make titanium etching quicker, precise, and adjusted to your requirements. Such technical advantages enable us to serve high-pressure industries such as aerospace and medical, as well as clean energy industries, where precision is not a disadvantage but a requirement.

Production Lines

5 fully operational etching lines with two fully automated high-capacity machines (39 meters in length and 1.5 meters in width).

Monthly Capacity

4,500 m² etched titanium parts - ready to do both prototype and full-scale manufacturing.

Material Thickness

We are able to etch both ultra-thin foils as thin as 0.05 mm in titanium and also hardy 2.5 mm plates made of titanium.

Tolerances

Standard tolerances of +/-0.05 mm; finer tolerances to +/-0.03 mm on special designs and where extreme accuracy is required.

Precision & Resolution

Can be used to create complex microchannels, fine mesh patterns, and complex cutouts that are impossible with stamping or machining.

Inspection Equipment

2D Vision; each part is supported by a First Article Inspection (FAI) and an Outgoing Quality Control (OQC) Report.

Benefits of Titanium Etching Process

Titanium offers remarkable material advantages — and when combined with our advanced etching process, those strengths are fully unlocked for precision applications.

High strength-to-weight ratio

Strong as steel but only 60% of the weight, making it perfect for lightweight designs in aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment.

Corrosion and heat resistance

Performs reliably in seawater, chemicals, and temperatures up to 700°C, ideal for harsh operating environments.

Biocompatibility

Non-toxic, non-magnetic, and non-allergenic, ensuring safety for medical implants and surgical tools.

Freedom of design

Etching enables complex, burr-free microfeatures that machining cannot achieve, while preserving titanium’s integrity.

Consistency & scalability

From prototypes to mass production, our process ensures uniform results with tolerances as tight as ±0.03 mm.

Cost-effectiveness

Faster turnaround and lower tooling costs compared to CNC or stamping, without compromising quality.
