The Complete PCB Lamination Process: How Multilayer Boards Are Pressed Together
PCB lamination is a critical manufacturing process that bonds copper layers, cores, and prepregs into a single multilayer circuit board. This video provides an inside look at the lamination workflow, including inner layer surface treatment, cleanroom lay-up, high-pressure and high-temperature pressing, controlled cooling, alignment, and final trimming. It explains how factors such as material selection, resin flow, stack-up precision, and process control influence board thickness, layer integrity, warpage resistance, and long-term reliability. By understanding the lamination process, engineers and procurement teams can make better design and sourcing decisions for multilayer, HDI, prototype, and high-volume PCB applications.
