| Abstract: | The article focuses on design strategies for optimizing photo-chemical etching (PCE) in manufacturing precision metal components, particularly for medical and high-tech applications. It emphasizes that PCE should be integrated early in the design process as a fundamental enabler rather than a late-stage constraint, highlighting its 2.5D nature that allows intricate, burr-free features and functional consolidation in thin, hard materials. Key recommendations include treating design rules as performance boundaries, specifying materials carefully, optimizing part nesting for yield and cost, applying tight tolerances only where functionally necessary, and considering downstream processes such as forming and coating. Early collaboration with PCE specialists can simplify assemblies, improve robustness, and enable innovative component geometries that traditional machining or stamping cannot achieve.
