DP Patterning at LOPEC – sustainable flex-PCB production
DP Patterning is excited to announce our active participation in the 2024 edition of LOPEC, the premier trade fair for flexible, organic, and printed electronics worldwide. The LOPEC exhibition and conference will take place at the ICM, München, from March 6–7, 2024, providing a comprehensive platform for showcasing innovations in research and development, mass production, and various application domains within the flexible and printed electronics industry. DP Patterning will present its 98-99% reduction in Global Warming Potential, aligning with its commitment to sustainable flex-PCB production.
We extend a warm invitation for you to visit Booth 412, where you can engage with us and our fellow exhibitors in B:412. Throughout the event, we will be presenting products and solutions applicable to diverse sectors, including automotive (EVs), RFID, LED light, energy, and real estate. Join us at LOPEC to explore cutting-edge advancements and innovations in the flexible and printed electronics industry.
Conference presentation “sustainable flex-PCB production” – by Roman Armgarth
Our R&D manager Roman Armgarth, will give a presentation at the LOPEC Conference. Romans session offer valuable insights into how the DPP 360 system is transforming the flex-PCB manufacturing landscape, by enhancing environmental sustainability, enabling in-house flex-PCB production, and cutting costs. Moreover, Roman will explain the unique process advantages of Dry Phase Patterning especially over etching, such as the in-line adjustment of resistance via the milling depth.
DP Patterning will present its 98-99% reduction in Global Warming Potential, aligning with its commitment to sustainable flex-PCB production. Traditional etching employs hazardous chemicals and expensive production processes. The chemicals used need special handling, storage conditions, permits and facility investments. By making a change from etching to the DPP 360 system, you can produce flex-circuits in a swift and controlled process without emissions, risky handling, or toxic waste. There is no need for safety gear, air purification or wastewater treatment. By insourcing your production, you eliminate the negative effects of overseas shipping. For example, our own customers calculate more than 98% reduction in Global Warming Potential compared to the traditional chemical etching process.

Roman Armgarth, R&D manager at DP Patterning, is now confirmed as one of the presenting speakers at Productronica 2023 in Munich. Roman Armgarth will present the groundbreaking DPP 360 flex-PCB manufacturing system, with a special focus on the sustainability and inhouse sourcing aspects of the concept.
When: Friday 17 november 2023 Where: Productronica 2023, at the Innovation Forum stage (hall B2, booth 441)
Introducing a multi-billion dollar revolution
The flexible printed circuit board (PCB) market is growing and expected to reach an annual volume of over 50 billion USD by 2030. With this increase, cost and environmental factors become more and more important to the expanding field.
Dry Phase Patterning (DPP) is a novel, yet established, chemical-free, roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing technology for flexible PCBs that enables companies to integrate the flex-PCB manufacturing directly with their assembly lines
Roman Armgarth
Sustainable and easily integrated
Resulting benefits are significantly shortened lead times and transport costs, all at a significant price benefit. In contrast to traditional PCB manufacturing, which is based on chemical wet etching, Dry Phase Patterning relies on high precision, mechanical milling at high production speed, giving only a residue of dry metal powder as a byproduct, which is then 100 % recyclable.
The clean and simple processing makes it possible for Dry Phase Patterning production lines to be integrated directly into a component assembly environment.
Several demonstrators on display
Using the mechanical DPP technology any material can be milled, which contrasts with the chemistry in an etching process tailored to one specific metal. Materials like aluminium on PET provide very attractive alternatives for manufacturing of environmentally friendly, low-cost Flex-PCBs. While gradual material, process and logistical improvements have slowly started to reduce emissions in the standard process, studies have shown that by replacing the chemical etching process with the DPP process CO2-emissions of the process chain can be reduced by 99%.
In this presentation I will describe the fundamentals of the DPP technology with a special focus on the sustainability aspects that are accessible with this unique patterning method, Roman Armgarth concludes. The DPP 360 system is up and running in several automotive and antenna applications in the market, some of them are on display at Productronica.

98% lower environmental impact
DP Patterning will present its 98-99% reduction in Global Warming Potential, aligning with its commitment to environmental sustainability. Traditional etching employs hazardous chemicals and expensive production processes. The chemicals used need special handling, storage conditions, permits and facility investments. When you switch to DPP 360, the flex-circuits are produced in a swift and controlled process without emissions, risky handling, or toxic waste. There is no need for safety gear, air purification or wastewater treatment. By insourcing your production, you eliminate the negative effects of overseas shipping. Our own customers calculate a more than 98% reduction in negative environmental impacts compared to the traditional chemical etching process.
New customer Demonstrators will be presented at Productronica 2023
On Productronica 2023 DPP will exhibit new demonstrators to highlight some of the applications and some of our customers will reveal their demonstrators produced in the DPP 360 system. One of the customer showcases is:
Marquardt
Marquardt has been on the market for almost a century. It’s a success story with a recurring theme: pioneering spirit. What started out in the Golden Twenties as a two-man start-up is now a global company with more than 10,200 employees. And a pioneer for the world of tomorrow. Marquardt is showing a demonstrator for automotive interior solutions produced in the DPP 360.
By using dry phase patterning technology, we aim to achieve an efficient and cost-effective solution for highly integrated functions in smart surfaces.

A revolution in flexible circuit manufacturing – Cutting CO2 emissions by 99%
Roman will introduce how DP Patterning is revolutionizing flexible circuit board manufacturing with efficient solutions for green-tech production. Roman will also be in a panel discussion together with representatives from Volvo and Ligna Energy.
DP Patterning is in the business of globally revolutionizing circuit board manufacturing with flexible and cost-efficient green-tech solutions
DP Patterning offers the market a strategic change of sourcing of Flexible PCB (FPCB). The change implies integration of Flexible PCB manufacturing into the electronic assembly activities for system and application suppliers.
Our unique and patented Dry Phase Patterning technology enables environmentally friendly and cost-efficient production of flexible electric circuit boards. Replacing hazardous traditional chemical etching processes from sub-suppliers in distant countries with an in-house, mechanical reel-to-reel process, this is both a game-changing solution for sustainability and allows for local high-quality production. By simplifying the production process, and by cutting lead times as well as significantly reducing international transports, waste management efforts and costs are reduced.
The Dry Phase Patterning production system is designed for System & Solution Providers with electronic assembly capacity and for in-house production. By bringing the production of Flexible PCBs in-house, an entire step in the traditional chain of production can be cut.
Today we support manufacturers in the automotive, EVs, LED lighting and RFID sectors, while continuously engineering and developing new system solutions to individual customer requirements.
