Technical replacement of LDI

There is no doubt that the early adopters of laser direct imaging (LDI) technology are usually fast cycle, prototype, or high-capacity PCB manufacturers who need rapid and accurate prototype preparation.

These early direct imaging (LDI) models perfectly meet the needs of these PCB manufacturers - saving time and mask film cost while providing a high degree of flexibility and accuracy.

Mass PCB production manufacturers did not adopt LDI technology, mainly because the LDI system was too slow and the operation cost of adjusting mobile was too high. However, the latest technological development has changed the situation. Today, more and more mass PCB production manufacturers use LDI for imaging solutions.

PCB laser direct imaging (LDI)
When fabricating a circuit board, the circuit traces are defined by what is the imaging process. Laser direct imaging ( LDI ) exposes the traces directly with a highly focused laser beam that in NC controlled, instead of flooded light passing through a photo tool, a laser beam will digitally create the image.

How does laser direct imaging ( LDI ) work?
Laser direct imaging needs a PCB with the photo-sensitive surface that is positioned under a computer controlled laser. And then the computer is creating the image on the board with the light of laser. A computer scans the board surface into a raster image, matching the raster image to a pre-loaded CAD or CAM design file that includes the specifications for the necessary image intended for the board, the laser is used for directly creating the image on the board.
