Custom pcb prototyping using a laser cutter.
Especially the contactless processing through the laser beam and the therewith related non deforming laser cutting as well as the high precision are crucial arguments for the application of laser technology in textile processing.
60 watt co 2 laser 30 watt fiber laser.
Large format laser systems are optimally suitable for the cutting of textiles made of fiberglass.
Laser cutting a pcb with a co 2 fiber trotec laser cutter introduction.
Laser etching pcb s was also of interest to me as i was hoping to get rid of the messy fecl3 etching but cutting that copper would require quite a bit more power i understand.
This is a process i have perfected after several prototypes i created as part of my t.
