Laser process enables unconventional antenna parts
An LDS antenna-lasering process targets oversize, overlength, or otherwise complex antenna parts previously unable to fit into conventional laser machines. The concept is based on LPKF Laser & Electronics’ Fusion 3D 1100 laser machine, adapted with a Pulse-designed and manufactured parts-handling system. The process enables fast product ramp-ups and seamless transfer between R&D and manufacturing sites.
The process saves up to 30% over manufacturing with previous LDS machines and is said to provide superior RF quality and freedom of design while achieving a cost-competitive alternative for laptops, tablets, and notebooks. (Contact company for price and availability.)
