Garbsen, December 20, 2016 - For the past 40 years, LPKF has been the
global market leader in the field of systems for manufacturing PCBs in
development laboratories. And now, the Garbsen-based company is rounding
off the high end of this segment with a world first: ProtoLaser R is the
first system optimized for the use in development departments using an
ultrashort pulse laser, allowing it to work on highly sensitive materials
thanks to the lack of heat input. With its compactness and price, the LPKF
ProtoLaser R is currently one of a kind on the market.

Research activities as well as process and product development require
flexible and high-precision tools. The requirements of developers are
becoming increasingly stringent, primarily due to the trend toward ever
more sophisticated materials and ever smaller dimensions. With ProtoLaser
R, LPKF is opening up new opportunities for laboratory-based
experimentation with completely new materials in the micro and nano range.

LPKF sees the sale of the first two systems to customers in Asia as a vote
of confidence in the future of the DevelopmentQuipment segment. "With this
product, we have developed a new laboratory laser system that is currently
unrivaled," says Dr. Ingo Bretthauer, CEO of LPKF AG. "Our technology sees
us for the first time entering the world of research, which will be of
strategic importance to future production."
