NEW: prototyping machine by LPKF Laser & Electronics
The LPKF ProtoLaser LDI is an universal, highresolution, table-top Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) system for prototyping on resist-covered substrates. A transferred image has even better defined edges compared to conventional lithography. With a working area of up to 100 x 100 mm and structures down to 1 μm it is an ideal tool for microfluidic designs.
Maskless laser direct imaging
The UV laser-based LPKF ProtoLaser LDI structures on UV standard inline resists - directly from CAD. There is no need for expensive mask alignment equipment nor to wait for costly masks.
The process can be utilized on different flat substrates without any special environment conditions. The substrate is just inserted using a standard or custom designed cartridge, which is simply pushed into the ProtoLaser LDI slot.
As the process is contact-less, there is no tool wear-out. Which results in no maintenance being necessary for years, virtually eliminating running costs. This makes the system a perfect and very affordable tool to produce and test the most daring designs.
