Article from PC-Control.net: DP Patterning’s innovative conductive pattern production relies on fast IPC control for high-precision machining.
Read the interview published by PC-Control.net with Staffan Nordlinder (CEO) and Jakob Sagatowski (Senior Software Developer) from DP Patterning together with Marcus Aldrin from Beckhoff Sweden (Motion Product Speclialist) that worked closely during the development of the automation technology for Dry Phase Patterning Technology.
DP Patterning is using a patented process, the conductive structures are worked out of flexible circuit boards in a mechanical process. Equal measures of accuracy and speed are needed to achieve this both precisely and economically. PC-based control and EtherCAT are the optimal control technologies to accomplish this.

Swedish tech company DP Patterning, who offer an innovative technology for flexible circuit board production, focuses their efforts to the German automotive industry, as their innovation revolutionizes circuit board manufacturing and disrupts an industry where every gram and step towards more sustainable manufacturing counts.
Flexible Printed Circuit Boards (FPCBs) are used in many electronical products and are globally mass-produced. They are an integral part of today’s technology and society and used in everyday consumer appliances such as phones, wireless antennas, and to a large extent, newly produced vehicles.
Swedish-founded DP Patterning has invented a unique mechanical process called Dry Phase Patterning technology for producing FPCBs, which is more environmentally friendly and cost-efficient than other alternatives. The technology is designed for System & Solution Providers with electronic assembly capacity and for in-house production, it is customizable and simplifies the process of production by reducing transports and lead times as well as significantly cutting costs. By bringing the production of Flexible PCBs in-house, an entire step in the traditional chain of production can be saved.
– We’ve come up with an innovation that eliminates the traditional and hazardous chemical etching processes, typically conducted in distant countries, and replaces that with the in-house reel-to-reel process, says Staffan Nordlinder, CEO and founder of DP Patterning.
Staffan continues:
– As the demand for green-tech production increases together with an increased interest in in-house production independent of trade wars and logistic cross border-challenges, we believe that our product can truly disrupt the traditional way of how the automotive industry produces new vehicles. We’re now putting all of our efforts toward the German market, the cradle of the European automotive industry.
Today DP Patterning support manufacturers and front-runners in the automotive, LED lighting and RFID sectors, while continuously researching and developing green-tech system solutions to individual customer requirements.

Serendipity Challenge is an annual entrepreneurship competition and technology venue open to all Swedish and Nordic start-up and growth companies. The competition’s finals take place during Almedalsveckan where 50 of Sweden’s and the Nordic´s most innovative, up-and-coming companies compete for the titles of “Start-up company of the year and Growth company of the year.
The ÅForsk Foundation Entrepreneur Scholarship for 2017 has been awarded to Staffan Nordlinder at DP Patterning, for a revolutionary method of manufacturing electrical circuits. The machines built by DP Patterning uses milling technology to create circuits, which makes for a simpler, more cost effective and faster (10x) method than conventional chemical etching. This method is also environmentally friendly.
DP Patterning and Mühlbauer GmbH & Co. KG has together customized the DPP-technology for the RFID industry. Mühlbauer now orders their second DPP system for integration in their ACS system. This is the first order of the multi million euro agreement between the companies.
