Each precision manufacturing process has its pros and cons. For example, where one method can achieve >10µm tolerance capability, another can reach 2µm feature resolution, but this may be at the expense of speed and cost.
The multi-technology advantage
With more than 5 decades of innovation in photochemical etching (PCM) at our core, Tecan continues its pioneering mission. We are proud to bring together the best features of both PCM and laser machining to deliver the finest precision parts to overcome limitations imposed by the use of each single technology on its own.
This delivers clear advantages across methods of manufacturing:

As a result, Tecan can develop and produce bespoke solutions across a variety of metals which not only deliver critical features that a single process cannot achieve in isolation, but also maximise cost effectiveness and technical capabilities.
As a single point source for complex components with highly precise features -even if they need forming and assembly – we can help you overcome even the most difficult design challenges.
