LDS: Smaller, lighter, more flexible….We’ve all seen how the size of mobile

phones and personal stereos have shrunk while their performance has increased hugely.

LDS* plays an important role in this development.

LDS gives you the possibilities to: - Design smaller and lighter- Integrate functions - Design with more freedom

This technology has proven its benefits in consumer electronics like phones and tablets

* Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) is a process to produce electronic circuits on complex three-dimensional structures in only three manufacturing steps

The possibilities for LDS technology are endless

New developments for LDS are already ongoing in fields like:

- Medical applications- Electronics for automotive - Industrial applications- Consumer electronics

Do you also prefer smaller and lighter devices? And make them more performing?

So, what do you believe will be the next possibility for LDS?

We would like to make your new LDS developments happen!

DSM has ForTii, an engineering plastic proven for LDS applications at high temperature

Together with NXP Semiconductors, Nano Technology Mfg. Pte. Ltd, and Laser Micronics we have shown that it’s possible to integrate the EMI filtering and ESD protection device into one component, while using Stanyl ForTii with LDS.

With other parties we have established super flat profile connectors and electronic coils

Also today creative ideas are being investigated

Your creative idea is our challenge!
