How to Decide
The classic "make / buy" decision is usually not too complex. In many cases, the situation can be assessed in terms of capabilities. Does your company really have the in-house ability to etch the fluoropolymer parts under consideration? If not, do you have the desire to develop the capability? Does the annual volume of parts warrant the investment in these resources?
Another consideration is the set of physical properties of the part. Sometimes it is not economically feasible to ship large volumes of material long distances in order to take advantage of a contract etching service. In certain of these cases, when proprietary processes are not involved, Acton Technologies may do a technology transfer to enable your company to do its own etching.
Let us help in the decision-making process. We can give you the benefit of our many years of etching experience and discuss alternate methods, shortcuts and QC protocols that you should consider. Send us an email message providing as much detail as possible and ask for a discussion with one of our engineers.
