Why PCM
• PCM eliminates cost of hard tooling • Stress and burr free components• Magnetic properties are un-altered • Complex components can be easily machined • Appropriate for many kind of alloys • Hard metals can be etched • Need lead time 2-3 weeks

Considerations
• Applications with lots of holes (mesh, screens)• Tolerances 10 to 15% of part thickness • Material up to 0.04” (1mm) thick • Part size from 0.05” X 0.05”(1.2X1.2mm) up to
18” X 18” (45X45cm)• Delivery time for first 1000PCS < 2-3 weeks
