+ | The LPKF ProtoMat S103 is a 2.5-D CNC mill capable of drilling, milling, and routing to manufacture printed circuit board (PCB) and 2.5D structures on a variety of substrates. The tool is located in the Semi-Clean Room on the 1st floor of the IDC. It is part of the IDC’s PCB fabrication process flow. The tool uses a moving tray and toolhead that allow autonomous movement across the work space with a tool exchange methodology that allows for different mechanical processes to be carried out without user intervention, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Substrates: | ||
+ | * Fiberglass-based or carbon fiber reinforced polymers, including FR4 | ||
+ | * The Hive provides 0.5 oz and 1 oz double-sided copper on 1.55mm FR4. | ||
+ | * PTFE or ceramic-filled base material | ||
+ | * Wood | ||
+ | * Nonferrous materials, such as aluminum or brass | ||
+ | * Plastics such as polyoxymethylen (“Delrin”), | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tool sizes | ||
+ | * Drill bits between 0.15mm and 3mm | ||
+ | * Contour routing, 1mm or 2mm | ||
+ | * Milling bits between 0.8mm and 3mm | ||
+ | * “Universal” cutting bits, 0.1 or 0.2mm | ||
