The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

LPKF Supports EuroSkills 2021
September 23, 2021 | LPKFEstimated reading time: 1 minute

About 400 participants from 31 countries compete in the European Skills Championship - and LPKF is contributing systems for PCB prototyping.
At the competition from September 23 to 25, 2021, which will take place this year in Graz, Austria, around 400 young, fully trained professionals or graduates of a vocational high school will come together. During this time, the participants, who are no more than 26 years old, work quickly and very focused on their projects to win one of the much-coveted awards in around 45 different professions. LPKF supports the young people and this competition in the electronics sector and provides two LPKF ProtoMat circuit board plotters including PC and accessories.
Two application specialists from LPKF are on site at the competition to ensure smooth processing. Based on the CAD layout data created by the competitors, the circuit board plotters are used to produce the printed circuit boards - developed by the participants themselves - within a very short time, free of chemicals.
LPKF has already been a regular sponsor of the electrical engineering sector at EuroSkills and WorldSkills championships in recent years. "It is a fascinating task every time to support the young participants in the challenges of the competition. We are always extremely impressed by the outstanding skills, enthusiasm and innovative strength of the young participants," says LPKF employee Lars Führmann.
LPKF wishes all participants every success.
