LPKF CircuitPro PL

LPKF is one of the pioneers in micro-material processing with laser etching. LPKF processes set the standard for performance as well as quality in various areas of medical technology, electronics and the automotive industry. The many years of experience in system development is reflected in the CircuitPro PL software – included with each new LPKF ProtoLaser system.

A Faster Way to the Final Product

The task of modern CAM software? It should implement the layout ideas of the developer as simply as possible in control data. Development of uniform machine software at LPKF targeted two aspects in particular: uniform, easy operation and at the same time a high capacity in taking over even demanding layouts.

Special Areas

CircuitPro PL has taken a large development step through the introduction of special areas. The software identifies areas with fine structures and removes the copper layers between the conductor traces by means of a process that runs parallel to these structures.

Compared to the previous version, the danger of local substrate damage and the duration of the rub-out process are reduced. At the same time, particularly fine structures are treated with care.

Island Hopping

By means of stitching – seamless connection of scan fields – the laser systems can also structure large circuit boards. Until now stitching was limited to square fields. The new CircuitPro PL software chooses the limits so that they run on existing structural elements. Separate stitching cuts are thus reduced and precision increased over the entire board.
