Maintaining the continuous high quality of LDS components during production requires reliable measurement and testing technology. The monitoring of chemical coatings was recently investigated as part of the “Measurement and testing technology for laser-based production of multifunctional 3D packages” project (MELAM-3D) funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) via the project organizer VDI/VDE-IT.read more...

The perfect cleaning of laser-activated LDS MIDs is crucial for product quality. Ablation residues after laser structuring could cause problems during further processing, especially around fine tracks. The surfaces can be cleaned using methods involving ultrasound baths, compressed air or high pressure water.read more...
