Multi-layer solutions for PCB Prototyping

Production of up to eight layers in-house

A multilayer is made up of multiple layers that are laminated together to form a printed circuit board. The outer layersof a multilayer are usually single-sided PCBs, whereas the inner layers are double-sided materials. Insulating layers, so-called prepregs,are inserted between the conductive layers. Up to four layers can be through-hole plated in a chemical-free process. For electrical connection of up to eight layers through-hole electroplating is recommended.

Three steps to a multilayer

Structuring

An LPKF ProtoMat or ProtoLaser structures circuit traces directly from layout data, using automatic tool changing and camera-based fiducial alignment to process each layer with minimal manual intervention.

Lamination

The structured layers are stacked with prepregs that provide insulation and bond during lamination. The LPKF hydraulic press system delivers reliable lamination (even for HF multilayers) using preset process profiles.

Through-hole plating

Interlayer electrical connections complete the conductor structure. The through-holes are drilled and then metallized using a chemical-free conductive paste; for boards with more than four layers, conventional electroplating is recommended.

PCB Prototyping Add-ons

PCB process add-ons extend your in-house prototyping from basic structuring to full production-grade functionality. They enable plated vias, durable surface protection, and clean assembly without outsourcing.

ProConduct

LPKF ProConduct is a system for chemical-free through-hole coating of double-sided and multilayer PCBs with paste. It is compact, fast, and easy to use.

Contac S4

For the wet chemical process, no knowledge of chemistry is needed; the LPKF Contac S4 system independently indicates the necessary process steps.

ProMask

Apply a durable solder mask in-house to protect copper surfaces, improve solderability, and achieve a clean, professional PCB finish.

ProLegend

Add high-contrast component markings directly to your prototype for clear identification and smooth, error-free assembly.

ProtoPrint S4

Screen-printing solder paste with consistent volume and alignment, ProtoPrint S4 ensures reliable SMD assembly on prototype PCBs.

ProtoFlow S4

A controlled reflow environment ensures consistent soldering quality, bringing your SMD assemblies to production-grade reliability.
