Since 1998, 2E mechatronic is member of the 3D-MID association, Nuremberg and deals with the MID technology (MID stands for Mechatronic Integrated Devices). The goal is the miniaturization of microsystems technology components and systems as well as the functional integration while reducing the number of parts. The currently most widely used method is Laser Direct Structuring. LDS describes the method by which it is possible to produce on three-dimensional injection-molded plastic parts layout structures that are in further process steps to 3D circuit boards. The LDS method relies on plastics with a special doping of metal nuclei, which releases the laser during the patterning so that the metal atoms can dock in the subsequent metallization. 2E also offers the rapid production of functional models from original materials using near-series processes. Corrections in the layout can be easily accomplished by changes in the software if necessary.The most popular LDS MID application is the smart phone antenna. Also there are many MID used in the automotive industry now. Other exciting applications can be found in the new development and the redesign of medical or industrial products. Examples developed and manufactured by 2E are LED lighting elements or a miniaturized thermal flow sensor. As part of the BMBF-funded research project MELAM 3D a demo module has been developed that demonstrates the possibilities of LDS-MID technology. This module can be obtained free of charge at 2E.
