Chemical etching, also known as metal etching, is a process of dissolving metals or glasses in acids to make them into a particular shape. There are two main types of chemical etching: the process as it was first developed and a more modern method known as photochemical machining. The etching process is preferred for fine metalwork and metal panels, especially those that need specific designs like panels used in making computer parts. Originally, such pieces needed to be made by hand or with expensive machines that took time to calibrate and maintain, but chemical etching vastly reduced the time and expense it took to create fine metal work.
