Our Process

How We Manufacture Metal Core PCBs

1

Thermal Analysis

We review your thermal requirements and optimize the dielectric thickness and metal core specification.

2

Core Preparation

Aluminum or copper core is cut, cleaned, and the dielectric thermal interface layer is applied.

3

Circuit Formation

Circuit pattern is formed on the dielectric layer using advanced imaging and etching processes.

4

QC & Testing

100% electrical test, thermal resistance verification, and visual inspection before shipping.
