Advanced Chip and Circuit Materials, Inc. (ACCM) will be showing its high-performance circuit materials, including its Celeritas Series laminates and prepregs at the DesignCon 2025 exhibition (Santa Clara, CA). The US-based manufacturer will be on hand January 28-30, 2025, at Booth #901 with samples of its Celeritas SF and Celeritas BU products in support of PCIe Gen 6 & 7 multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs) with data rates reaching 224 Gb/s per channel.
ACCM’s Vice President Marketing, Michael Gay, explained the importance of circuit materials with such high performance and outstanding stability, even in hostile operating environments: “We are confident that PCB designers will find that our skew free Celeritas SF material solution will enable use of on board copper channels to achieve 224 Gbps data rates.” The materials feature halogen-free, PFAS-free composition with minimal skew and low z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and can be processed with standard FR-4 circuit material processes and equipment. They are engineered high reliability in HDI and UHDI applications requiring superior thermal cycling capability.

KEMPEN, GERMANY – Peters has put the second SUSS LP50 ‘Pixdro’ inkjet printer into operation. This machine enables the application of solder resist in digital additive technology by means of the inkjet process, thus providing Peters Research, in this relatively new segment, with more possibilities in research and process technology, in addition to the conventional coating processes (screen printing, curtain coating and spray coating).
By means of this second inkjet printer, the R&D department of the ink manufacturer from the Lower Rhine is able to simulate projects from industrial customers in their own laboratories, push forward the qualification process and make reliable recommendations. “Its print head is the same, so a laboratory project will also work on industrial printers equipped with several print heads of this type,” says Kevin Poth, ELPEPCB® Project Manager at Peters, describing the benefit of a purchase.
“Thanks to the precise positioning and small droplet volumes, inkjet printing is suitable for a variety of applications, such as printed electronics, printed circuit boards or semi-conductor assembly,” explains service engineer Leon van Lieshout from the Eindhoven-based manufacturer SUSS MicroTec. Among the main features of the Pixdro there is robustness, process control, user-friendliness and precision, says the Dutchman who has just set up the printer at Peters with a team of three engineers.
Electrical properties optimised
The bottom line is that with the solder resist for digital inkjet printing, Peters is highlighting its decades of expertise as a supplier of high-quality electronic coatings, and is now continuing to focus on this new card. By means of the Samba Dimatix print head, the ink is sprayed in the same way as with an inkjet printer and selectively applied to the circuit board. Besides protecting against corrosion and mechanical damage, the solder resist optimises the electrical properties of the PCB. The solder resist has already withstood solder processes without any problems and has therefore already fulfilled its first essential service.
Inkjet printers and the ELPEPCB® solder resists from the Elpejet® IJ 2467 series enable new PCB layouts and interesting resist geometries. By the so-called “digital drop-on-demand” technology, the solder resist is applied selectively. Compared to conventional application methods such as screen printing, spray coating or curtain coating in conjunction with exposure and development steps, the process is simplified and accelerated, which reduces the material consumption significantly.

BOSKOVICE, CZECHIA – Prominent Czech company Gatema PCB, has enhanced its printed circuit board (PCB) production with a new press center featuring advanced equipment. The facility now operates three cutting-edge machines: two Lauffer presses, a Monolam MLP 25M high-temperature press, and an Optical Pinless Bonding 211/8 machine. After several weeks of testing, these machines—costing nearly one million euros— are now running at full capacity, significantly boosting the company’s production capabilities.
As a vital part of the Gatema Group, Gatema PCB has been providing high-quality PCBs for over 25 years, serving more than 800 customers across 15 countries. Known for its fast-turnaround prototype PCB production, the company continually invests in state-of-the-art machinery, process optimization, and advanced production information systems. The latest investment in new printing equipment reflects this ongoing commitment to innovation.
One of the key upgrades is the Lauffer press, which replaces a 30-year-old machine that had become difficult to maintain. Another addition is the Monolam MLP 25M, capable of pressing plates at temperatures up to 400ºC, enhancing the company’s ability to handle more complex production processes. The third new machine, the Optical Pinless Bonding 211/8, introduces a pinless pressing method, streamlining the production process.
After an initial familiarization period, the new machines have been fully integrated into Gatema’s production workflow. The total cost for the new press center equipment was €914,000. The company reports a notable increase in production capacity, including the ability to run an entire shift without an operator present, thanks to the system’s “ghost shift” feature.
This upgrade positions Gatema PCB to meet the growing demand for high-quality, quick-turnaround PCBs while enhancing operational efficiency and expanding production capacity.
