Photochemical machining (etching), microstamping, and micro-machining are all used to make small, precision components. Each process has its own advantages and limitations. Sometimes combining their capabilities for development and high-volume production can give designers and manufacturers the flexibility to meet performance, time to market, and cost goals. One company that uses several microtechniques for manufacturing suspensions is Hutchinson Technology Inc (HTI). According to the company, using different methods can provide design and fabrication options that lower front-end and high-volume production costs. HTI etched the component prototypes. Photochemical machining and micromachining both provide production-quality tolerances for prototypes at relatively low set-up and tooling costs and with short lead times. HTI designers then locked-in final product features and specs while process engineers provided feedback on the high-volume manufacturing techniques.
