Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
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.

Thorne Lietz Moves from LPKF to LaserMicronics
May 11, 2016 | LaserMicronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
There are actually only a few steps between the head office of LPKF Laser & Electronics AG and that of LaserMicronics. Thorne Lietz will take this short path in future when he leaves the LPKF PCB prototyping sales team to take over PCB laser services at LaserMicronics.
Thorne Lietz has an excellent knowledge of the electronics industry, which he has worked in since 1985. He was previously responsible for the distribution of high-quality PCB prototyping systems. In this role he acquired extensive knowledge of material processing with lasers from working on customer projects. After joining LaserMicronics on April 1, he is now the contact person for the distribution of the cutting and structuring services with lasers.
He sees great market potential for laser cutting processes: "Our UV laser cutting systems machine sensitive substrates without mechanical stress and with minimal thermal impact. Exciting applications are for example the reworking of PCBs, cutting and drilling of flexible substrates, metal layers on ceramics or the patterning of LTCC substrates."
Thorne Lietz is responsible for laser cutting and structuring services at LaserMicronics.
About LaserMicronics
LaserMicronics GmbH specializes in micromachining and material processing with laser systems. Engineers and physicists work on the development of customer-specific solutions backed up by comprehensive machinery. The range of services includes feasibility studies, process optimization and the job-shop production of prototypes or series.
