Photo Etching Service
This guide outlines 4D Modelshop’s photo etching service, which reproduces customer artwork in brass, copper or nickel silver with precision-cut or half-etched detailing. It explains artwork preparation requirements, including file formats, line weights and colour coding for different etch depths, as well as notes on scaling and font handling. The document introduces the workshop’s controlled etching technique, enabling finer detail and reduced over-etching even on thicker metals, and describes options for in-filling half-etched areas. A summary of available metal thicknesses, achievable tolerances and maximum sheet sizes helps users plan their project, while contact details are provided for technical advice and bespoke support.
