The electronics industry is booming ...

Dear Reader,

… and looking for reliable, quick methods to introduce their products ready for production. LPKF has been helping companies with this for years with a well-engineered system for environmentally friendly, near-series PCB prototyping.

Since March prototyping has seen another added value: the new ProtoMat series is not only more powerful but also more automated and upgradeable. Find out more in an article included in this newsletter.

We’d like to invite you to take a look at the colorful world of PCB prototyping with this newsletter. Here you will receive valuable suggestions for your own electronics engineering and will see how other companies go from idea to functional PCB in just one day. You will also learn why the high-level segment – LPKF ProtoLaser S and ProtoLaser U – are a success.

Feel free to contact us or our partners in your country with concrete questions about your individual challenge.

Best regards,

Britta Schulz
Manager PCB Rapid Prototyping Division

Hardware: Circuit board plotter with upgrades

LPKF continues its innovation efforts in PCB prototyping with the new ProtoMat series. The beginning of March saw a new version of the best known product group. The ProtoMat S-series circuit board plotters were completely revamped. All S-series ProtoMats include a stylish acoustic cabinet which reduces noise emissions while also enhancing safety.

Seminar: Modern Prototyping

Satisfied face at the TAE: the 2010 seminars “Rapid PCB Prototyping” covered all the steps from preparing CAD-Board designs to milling, drilling, through-hole plating, multilayer, solder resist, labeling, all the way to assembly and reflow soldering. Seminar participants had different backgrounds, some of them are already using LPKF equipment.

YouTube: Watch, don’t read

For years LPKF has been documenting efficient methods and steps for creating circuit board prototypes with videos. Illustrating a series of steps is easier with dynamic videos than would be possible with manuals.

Faces: New Team Leader

Jan van Aalst says “Thank you”, Lars Führmann says “Hello”. Lars Führmann (35) has been the Product Manager for the entire prototyping line since 2010, from ProtoMats to associated process all the way to ProtoLasers. Remaining loyal to LPKF and the ProtoMats, Jan van Aalst has accepted a new challenge developing new systems and methods.

Tool crib adjustment in the CircuitCAM software

Practice tip: Large boreholes with a CircuitCAM tool
If a project has an unusually high number of bore diameters and the number of boreholes is low, diameters larger than two millimeters can be combined. Instead of using different drills the Contour Router 2.0 mm will simply be used. Making the necessary tool crib adjustment in the CircuitCam software takes only a few clicks.
