Another new material for the 3D-MID process Ticona GmbH and LPKF AG sign know-how and licence agreement (E)

Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is
responsible for the content of this announcement.

A know-how and licence agreement has been closed for the material
Vectra(R) LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer). This agreement enables the
Ticona GmbH to modify their LCP material for the LPKF-LDS process to
produce 3D-MID circuits. This plastic allows the production of
ultra-fine mechanical 3D structures by injection moulding, which in
connection with the laser structuring of circuits is a unique feature
worldwide. The circuit structures on this material are solderable due
to the high temperature resistance of the LCP material. Possible
applications are e.g. within the field of hearing aids, mobile
communication devices and sensor technology for automobile
electronics.

This new contract will again positively influence LPKF’s chances to
establish this technology and to sell 3D-MID laser systems in the
coming years.
