Calumet Electronics announces the acquisition of Laser Direct Imaging capability.

Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) of printed circuit boards uses a laser to image a pattern directly onto a photo resist-coated panel, completely eliminating the production and use of a traditional photo tool. The most obvious benefits of LDI are the time and handling defects associated with the creation, use, handling and storage of photo tools. "Our customers want more flexibility, shorter lead times, and smaller production lots for prototyping and new product introduction applications" explains Stephen J. Marshall, National Sales Manager, “This addition to our imaging capability enables quick response to these opportunities without burdening existing production resources."

Calumet is now operating an Orbotech DP-100 Direct Imaging System and offers a video presentation on the application on its web site.
