Printing Miniaturized Devices for the Automotive and Industrial Manufacturing Sectors
The automotive and industrial electronics sectors have several large challenges in using sub-microcomponents, including the addition of large devices on the same product, harsh environmental concerns and safety and reliability demands. All these issues require a highly capable heterogeneous solder paste printing process.
