Applications
3D-MIDs are mechatronic devices combining electrical functionality with mechanical structures. 3D-MID applications exist in several industries, including:
- Telecommunications
- Medical
- Automotive
- Security
- Packaging
- Military & Defense
- Measuring & Testing Equipment
- Antennas
- LED’s – solar state lighting, camera, and sensors
3D-MID technology is a alternative to traditional circuit boards or flex circuits and are used in applications requiring miniaturization and improved product design.
The largest application in the world is smart phone antennas. Laser direct structuring creates the antenna patterns for receiving, sending, and GPS functions. The laser creates the patterns in the cell phone case which are then plated with copper, nickel, and gold. Many applications can be created this way.
