Everything You Need To Know About Polymer Laser Micromachining
High-end manufacturing often utilizes polymers and their polyimide subsets since they are mechanically reliable, excellent electrical insulators, and are inert. As a result, polymer laser micromachining is fairly common in manufacturing processes. Polymers are commonly used as: ● Substrates for electronics or optical components ● Printed circuit boards (PCBs) ● Chemically inert laminates ● Electrical or thermal insulation tape Polyimides also offer manufacturers many advantages. They are low-cost, flexible, and can support copper traces in the electronics industry. Manufacturing lightweight and miniaturized PCBs in multiple layers of polyimides help minimize mobile devices' size. They can also be used in the food and medical sectors because they are not reactive. Polymer laser micromachining, for example, cutting and drilling, is required in nearly all ca...
