What is Photo Chemical Machining?
Photochemical machining is the process involved in the fabrication of sheet metal, with a number of applications including the production of circuits, gaskets, seals, electrical contacts, jewellery, springs, and washers. photo chemical machining is also known as PCM, photochemical milling, and photo etching, and can be contrasted with other types of chemical machining such as electrochemical machining. While PCM was an offshoot of the printed circuit board industry that developed during the 1960s, the processes involved in this kind of fabrication are used all around the world today in the production of many different products and components. Photochemical machining has a number of advantages over other types of fabrication, such as stamping, laser cutting, punching, and electrical discharge machining (EDM).
