June 2, 2025 | STARTEAM GLOBALEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
STARTEAM GLOBAL, a leading PCB manufacturer, has introduced a revolutionary additive solder mask process at its Flero STARTEAM (FST) factory in Italy, leveraging digital inkjet technology to enhance production efficiency and sustainability.
The new process, utilizing n.jet (Notion Systems) and Elpejet® ink (Peters Group), offers higher resolution, flexibility, and eco-friendliness compared to traditional methods. This advancement positions STARTEAM GLOBAL as a thought leader in the PCB industry, delivering superior quality and faster production to meet customer demands.
The additive solder mask process streamlines production by reducing steps from pre-treatment, coating, drying, exposure, development, and curing to just pretreatment, printing, and curing. This results in quicker delivery, flawless coverage, reduced defects, and adaptability to design changes. The technology supports varying resist thicknesses and remains crack-free after multiple reflow cycles, aligning with automotive, medical, and railway safety standards. Additionally, it reduces waste, supporting STARTEAM GLOBAL’s sustainability goals.
“This innovation underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of PCB manufacturing, offering our clients unmatched quality and efficiency,” said a STARTEAM GLOBAL spokesperson.
Customers benefit from:
- Faster production timelines
- Enhanced design flexibility
- Reduced environmental impact
- Cost efficiencies.
