Mesh screens are ideal for use due to their durability, strength, and longevity. They can be found in simple filters to intricate applications in severe environments. Unlike wire mesh screens, which can unravel, E-Fab’s mesh screens are made from a solid piece of thin sheet metal. We use the photochemical machining (PCM) process to manufacture precision mesh screens that will not unravel.

E-Fab can also custom fabricate mesh screens into formed, multifaceted complex shapes. Using precision etched bend lines, unique shapes and integrated features are also available.

Our mesh screens have various opening sizes and degrees of transmission. The transmission factor is the percentage of hole opening to material remaining. When fabricated on a single metal sheet, we will add small etched tabs to hold the screens together during the etching process. In the case of larger screen surface areas, additional webbing can be designed into the screen to give extra strength and support. The edges of the screen can also be designed for various features like mounting holes, built-in tabs, and etched bend lines for attaching to other surfaces or structures.
