The LENS manufacturing process has been optimized for repair of high value components. Cost-effectively fabricate, enhance, and repair high-performance metal components in state-of-the-art materials such as titanium, stainless steel, and Inconel®.
In a previous post, we discussed the shortcomings of round bond wires for RF applications from both a performance and reliability standpoint. Today we are taking a step back and discussing wire bonding in general [...]
The human brain is a complex biological computer with billions of neurons that are able to send and receive small electrical signals throughout your nervous system. These signals are the basic communication method for your [...]
In the early days of Optomec, LENS processing typically included laser powers of around 300 to 500 W (LENS, or “laser engineered net shaping”, is a form of DED using a laser heat source to [...]
Bell-bottom interconnects For years RF designers have spent a great deal of effort searching for an alternative to wire bonds for a host of reasons. Lately, this effort has really cranked up as we work [...]
Printed electronics offers some significant advantages in terms of cost, design flexibility and time to fully functional prototype. However, these advantages normally come with issues related to reliability and circuit performance due to the material [...]
Are you looking for new ways to produce metal parts? Do you repair or replace metal parts due to corrosion or wear? Are you responsible for maintaining high-value metal parts? Is it time you added [...]
The Challenge: Can Printed Interconnects Match the RF Performance of Bond Wires for Microwave Interconnects? The shortcomings of round bond wires for RF applications are well-known to RF designers. From a performance standpoint, the high [...]
Additive manufacturing is being more broadly adopted in industrial applications – not only for producing new metal parts but also for repair and replacement of existing parts. Billions of dollars are spent in the U.S. [...]
