MIGDAL HAEMEK, ISRAEL -- Camtek said it would focus its activity in the field of digital 3D printing for the printed circuit board industry. The firm will center its main businesses on the PCB and semiconductor end-markets and will cease R&D on its Xact characterization and failure analysis equipment for semiconductor development.

The inspection company last month announced the GreenJet digital 3D printing system used for solder mask deposition on printed circuit boards. Commercial sales of the machine are expected to start in 2014.
