Supply of Laser Structuring Apparatus for 3D Printed Electronics to Liverpool John Moores University

About

Liverpool John Moores University awarded a contract to Tracks Laser & Electronics Ltd for the supply of an apparatus for laser structuring or printing of electrically conducting paths on complex 3D printed plastics and other materials, intended for creating electronic circuits.

The apparatus is required to handle multiple materials (3D printed plastic, glass, ceramic, metal), accommodate materials up to 300mm x 300mm x 130mm, construct conducting paths within a 100mm x 100mm x 40mm volume to an accuracy of +/- 25 microns, include an integrated or benchtop accessory for metallised coating if needed, provide exhaust/extract/filter apparatus, and supply software and PC for editing design files in Gerber, Excellon, DPF, and DXF formats.

The equipment must be new, operate on 230V ac single phase, and was procured at a contract value of AUD 149,190.
