Would a fiber laser be able to remove the copper from a PCB blank?
I'm currently spray painting the blank PCBs, using a CO2 laser to remove the spray paint to expose the copper that needs to be removed and finally etching the board in ferric chloride.
If I could remove copper from the blanks directly with a fiber laser, I could do everything in one clean step. No need for spray paint, or ferric chloride.
Thanks,
Dave
