4. Step 3D-MID: Metallization
This is the fourth step of the LDS process. Here you see the metallization of the laser activated parts. Typically copper, nickel and gold layers are applied. In this case you see a copper bath in a laboratory size. For sure, mass production is possible in big plating lines, too. This is the result after plating with copper, nickel and gold.
