Garbsen, November 2007 – First place in this year’s MID Industry Award goes to an application for the automated digital pairing of model trains. The plastic coupling between two rail cars is structured and metallized by LaserMicronics GmbH industry services. The application was created by the LPKF-LDS process (Laser Direct Structuring). The process integrates high resolution PCB layouts directly on to 3D Molded Interconnect Devices (MID). It is used especially for series production in telecommunication and automotive electronics.
