LPKF Laser & Electronics' entry-level
ProtoMat S43 is a milling machine that provides an introduction into the world
of professional rapid PCB prototyping. For those with an occasional use and/or
limited budget, the ProtoMat S43 has the precision and capacity for drilling,
de-paneling and structuring printed circuit boards and engraving front panels. It
comes equipped with a 40,000 RPM spindle motor, a working area of 9 x 12 inch,
and has the ability to produce multiple design iterations in the same day. The LPKF
ProtoMat S63 circuit board plotter has 2.5D material processing such as routing
of pockets, and features a programmable spindle speed of up to 60,000 RPM,
making it useful for drilling test adapters or housing enclosures. New to the
system is a mounted dispenser which applies soldering paste to the circuit
board automatically with minimum data preparation, and an intelligent fiducial
camera, a 15-position automatic tool change and an automatic milling width adjustment;
letting nothing stand in the way of producing precise double-sided and
multilayer circuit boards right in the electronics lab.
The
ProtoMat S103 is equipped for all application areas including RF and Microwave prototypes.
Meeting standards in geometry and accuracy, the special carbide tools produce
straight sidewalls and reduce penetration depth to allow milling and drilling
of delicate material. In addition the S103 cuts irregularly shaped flexible
circuit boards from large panels and its superior features include a 100,000
RPM spindle motor for milling ultra fine structures, a fiducial recognition
camera, a vacuum table to securely mount substrates on the plotter, and a pneumatic
milling depth limiter.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
