Precision Without Compromise — Micro Component Group To Demonstrate Pce For Medical Devices At Md&M West
The Micro Component Group to Showcase Advanced Photo-Chemical Etching Solutions at MD&M West 2026
The Micro Component Group (MCG) will exhibit at MD&M West in Anaheim, 3-5 February 2026, and invites engineers and OEMs to visit Booth 1587 to explore how next-generation photo-chemical etching (PCE) is enabling smaller, cleaner, and more reliable metal components for tomorrow’s medical devices.
As medical technologies become more intricate — from minimally invasive tools and implantables to diagnostic sensors, microfluidics, and wearable platforms — manufacturers face increasing challenges related to burrs, stress, heat-affected zones, and design constraints introduced by conventional processes such as stamping, laser cutting, or machining.
MCG’s PCE technology is particularly well-suited for highly demanding micro-scale medical components, including micro-needles for drug delivery and vaccine administration, precision structures for diagnostics and patient monitoring, micro-features for wearable therapeutic or sensing devices, and ultra-fine components used in dermatology and cosmetic treatment applications. PCE enables these components to be formed with sharp geometries, consistent apertures, and tight dimensional control — without inducing stress or burrs that could compromise performance, safety, or patient comfort.
PCE removes traditional barriers by producing stress-free, burr-free metal components with fine features, tight tolerances, and exceptional material integrity — critical attributes for performance, cleanliness, and patient safety.
At MD&M West, MCG will highlight the combined strengths of two companies within the Group: micrometal GmbH and Thin Metal Parts (TMP Inc.). micrometal’s highly automated, scalable PCE platform delivers repeatable precision from early development through high-volume production, helping engineering teams iterate quickly without the delays or cost burdens of hard tooling. TMP brings complementary manufacturing depth—including electroforming, laser cutting, and Mylar imaging — enabling hybrid approaches when components benefit from multiple processes or when unique design requirements demand additional flexibility.
“Innovation thrives when manufacturing keeps pace with design, and that’s exactly what PCE delivers,” says Jochen Kern, Head of Sales & Marketing at the Micro Component Group. “For medical devices, the ability to produce complex, high-precision metal components without stress or burrs is increasingly becoming a prerequisite, not an advantage.”
David Faris, Director of Sales for North America, adds: “We’re not just manufacturers — we’re development partners. If you’re trying to push a design beyond what conventional processes can reliably deliver, we’ll help you get there with a process that supports innovation at every step.”
Attendees are encouraged to visit Booth 1587 to review sample components, discuss application-specific challenges, and explore how PCE can accelerate development cycles while enhancing quality and repeatability.
