Most of AIT's technologies started off as customer requests for something that was not at that stage standard.  AIT has put together a range of processing options, most of which are carried out in its own premises, that give it a unique product development capability.  If your application doesn't quite fit standard processing options then contact us.  We will give you a full appraisal of our view of your problem and route to production if we believe it is economically feasible.  By way of example the two projects below illustrate how AIT's range of options can be harnessed to assist in solving your problems.

A customer wanted a high temperature circuit with connection points around the edge of a circular substrate.  The dimensions of the connections precluded screen printing directly on the edge.  The problem was solved by using AIT's 3D imaging techniques to etch gold thick film metallisation on the perimeter of a circular substrate.

It was required to make holes suitable for inserting press fit connectors into a ceramic circuit board.  AIT solved this problem by making the hole larger than the diameter that would normally be required and plating an excess of copper onto the board.  The holes were then drilled using a precision drill and finished with nickel and gold.  The press fit connectors made an excellent connection with the hole.
