Laser Cutting vs Punching Cutting Process 1. Deadmove – laser head moves to a soon to be scrapped area of the work material.2. Plunge – the laser activates and begins to cut through the workpiece.3. Path cutting – here the geometry of the part is followed by the motion control system. During this process, a […]
The Thing You’ve been Missing: Microvia Drilling Services As printed circuit boards get smaller, denser, and more complex, new techniques are helping manufacturers keep up with the trend towards miniaturization. Microvia drilling is an essential technique for advanced PCB architectures. We’re going to explore what microvia drilling is, why it’s surged in popularity, and how […]
Practical Guide: The Top 5 Benefits of UV Laser Depaneling Printed circuit boards (PCB) have been depaneled by mechanical routers, dicing saws, and pizza cutters for decades. Changes in size, shape, material and intricacy of circuit boards require manufacturers to change with current technology needs. Just as you wouldn’t use any technology from decades ago, […]
One of the most rapidly growing segments of the medical industry is minimally invasive surgery. Intravenous procedures, especially, have increased because of three current goals in medicine: reduced cost, improved patient outcomes, and shortened recovery times. Successful medical procedures rely on tiny devices, and the unusual shapes and sizes are best designed and created using […]

Tight Tolerances The current precision parts manufacturing industry relies on a plethora of processes to assemble any end product. Each product is a collection of smaller parts joined together to fulfill a certain task or purpose. Just like any sports team, in order to win all the players must play well within a certain framework […]
It’s not easy being a PCB design engineer. It involves having so many choices and design considerations, but it’s usually the things that they have no choice in that make their job very difficult. Issues like copper trace width, copper layer thickness, component profiles and overall PCB size restrictions would ruin a perfectly good workday for any […]
So if you’ve been following our website you probably think that all we do is laser cutting. We certainly did our best to bash mechanical machining and show you why laser is a better option. This is certainly still true for depaneling PCBs and cutting thin materials. With that being said, we do have a […]
Prototypes are an important part during any design process. It enables engineers and designers to test and qualify all aspects of their products before they release them to their end customers. Modern day products usually have electronics embedded within the design to accomplish all sorts of different functions. Almost all electronic designs require the use […]
Ever helped your dad fix something over the weekend? It’s funny how something as easy as hanging a picture frame can end up with you cutting a 2X4 with a power saw. Even the simplest projects like putting together an IKEA piece of furniture can turn out to be an absolute nightmare when you end […]
