Ash & Lacy officially launch in-house metal photochemical etching line

By Ash and Lacy in Industry News

Our in-house metal photochemical etching line can realise intricate designs faster and more efficiently than ever.


Our photo etching line can realise complex design concepts, achieving unrivalled intricacy and almost limitless design detail, from one hole to complex algorithmic patterns. The thinner the material, the more intricate the design, right down to ultra-fine microns.

The in-house photo etching capabilities gives us control over the entire process. From rapid prototyping and tool design, production and quality control are more efficient than ever. At Ash & Lacy Automotive we can bring any pattern to life within hours of receiving the design. 

Our etching line supports all areas of the car. From premium interior trim speaker grilles and detail, to electrification of the powertrain, the almost limitless design capabilities offer a vast package of component opportunities.
