Since 1982, Potomac has been recognized by both commercial and government agencies for innovative contributions to areas such as medical device manufacturing, biotech and electronics fabrication. Potomac Photonics, a leader microfabrication, has an extensive history of helping its clients develop miniature products and bring them to market quickly and cost effectively. Utilizing a broad range of technologies, Potomac can micromachine most materials such as polymers, metals, ceramics, and glass with feature sizes that cannot be achieved using conventional processes. From single prototypes to millions of parts in production, there truly is no faster or better way to have your parts fabricated. Building strong, long-term partnerships is a cornerstone to Potomac’s way of doing business. It is our goal to go beyond the mere fabrication of parts, as we prefer to partner on projects from their initial prototyping phases and take them all the way through product realization. We have always prided ourselves on providing total solutions and adding value to our partners as they develop and introduce their products to market. To that end, we have not only taking on the challenges of using novel materials and production methods, but have also taken on assembly and supply chain management responsibilities. To initiate the process, simply enter our online machine shop, select your material, and upload your drawing. Shortly thereafter, a technical specialist will either contact you to discuss your application or send you a proposal. Once the order is placed, your custom micro parts can be quickly produced in a short time ranging from a few hours to a few days, depending on complexity and volume.
