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.read more...

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.read more...

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.read more...

So what are others doing, and how? LPKF is starting a new series of field reports in which successful companies tell about their use of LPKF equipment and the challenges it solved.read more...

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.read more...

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.read more...

There are many options for securing components or assemblies. Screws, glue and rivets now have a competition with interesting features, laser-based staking. read more...
