Conard is a custom job shop specializing in photo chemical machining and nickel electroforming of precision metal components.  AS9100/ISO 9001 and ITAR registered American manufacturer founded in 1965.  Specializing in aerospace, wireless communications, semiconductors and electronics packaging and a variety of industrial, scientific and medical applications.

Photochemical machining is also called photo etching.  It is a metal fabricating process that competes successfully with stamping, laser and wire EDM.  Etching also offers exceptional capabilities in wide variety of alloys and metal thicknesses from .0005"​ to .080"​ with dimensional accuracy of +/-15% of metal thickness. We produce parts from .020"​ diameter to 24"​ x 60"​.

Etching is particularly capable in producing filters, screens, grids and meshes for aerospace industrial, scientific, medical and electronic applications.  Minimum holes sizes are 115% of metal thickness; on minimum centers of hole diameter plus metal thickness.  Ratio etching can produce conical holes.

Conard is known for its industry-leading expertise in etching aluminum, which is applied to a large number of aerospace applications.

Phototools typically cost less than $300 and can be produced in a day.

Nickel electroforming is an additive manufacturing process that produces solid metal parts by electrolytically "growing"​ them from a nickel sulfamate solution.  Electroforming can produce holes and features as small as 20-25 microns with conventional  photolithography. This process finds applications in MEMS, miocrofluidics and photonics, to name a few.

Conard is a privately held Connecticut corporation with 50 years of continuous operation in Glastonbury, CT. We enjoy many long-term customer relationships, a number measured in decades. We work with thousands of companies each year, including more than a dozen of the top 100 manufacturers in the country.
