Laser direct structuring enhances design flexibility

There are often three components to the development process involved in manufacturing LDS 3D circuits. Prototypes are developed with LPKF’s proprietary proto-paint process in combination with a raw part from virtually any plastic.

Next, the manufacturing industry has seen a number of innovations in the realm of 3D printed parts through advancements in materials and printing technology. Due to the quick-turn nature of this process, cycle times can be greatly reduced in the development phase.

Lastly, mould-injected parts, from LDS grade materials, can be brought to full-scale production.

From prototypes to production, A-Laser guides customers through the entire project. The engineering department excels in design, while also keeping in mind process implementation and cost reduction goals.

LPKF has also created a design guide allowing optimisation opportunities from the onset.
