                        Hi guys,

                        Is there a company that can do your own photo-etch pattern? The parts will be used mostly Architectural model.

                        Thanks in advance

                        I know some in Germany, so I bet there must be a few in the states too...
                        Basically, every company that makes PCB-Boards can make PE, since it's the same process.

                        You can even make PE yourself quite easily - all you need is a Laserprinter,transparent foils, a UV Exposure Unit, an Acid Bath Unit, Ferric Cloride Solution and photoactive PCB... :)

                        What kind of architectural model? Do you work for a firm or are you still doing your schooling? Curious, because I just started my architecture schooling.

                        The Architectural Model is for work. Its rarely now a client will ask for a physical model in my region(Brunei). Most of the modelling now are done virtually (Revit/3dsmax/Vue).
