Coating 3D Parts with LPKF ProtoPaint LDS The laser direct structuring (LDS) process is known as a key method in the production of smartphone and tablet antennas, and is also becoming a significant player in LED lighting and the automotive arena. With LPKF ProtoPaint LDS, prototyping 3D interconnect devices is simpler than ever. With laser direct structuring, a laser beam applies circuit track structures onto a three-dimensional plastic component. Copper is then deposited on these tracks in an electroless process. In series production, LDS uses single-shot injection molded components that...

Spray Coating of 3D Interconnect Devices with LPKF ProtoPaint LDS - 3

• LDS coatings from a spray can • Easy to use • High coating power Prototyping with LPKF laser direct structuring (LDS) 1. Creating the three-dimensional part 3. Structuring the circuit tracks with the LPKF ProtoLaser 3D 4. Selective metallization with LPKF ProtoPlate LDS LDS Coatings The foundation for any LDS prototype is the threedimensional plastic part itself. LPKF ProtoPaint LDS adds a laser-ready surface to parts of virtually any size or shape. To activate the paint, remove the lower cap and turn the key ring a few times. Shake the can for a few minutes and the paint is ready to use....
