From the chemical and physical properties of the material itself, this material is designed to meet the special requirements of laser direct structuring technology. Its basic composition and internal structure largely determine the range of colors available. For example, certain pigments or additives may react chemically with the metal complex in the LDS material, thereby affecting its laser-induced metallization performance. Therefore, when choosing colors, it is necessary to ensure that the added pigments do not interfere with the material's ability to form conductive lines under laser irradiation.
In the actual production process, color selection is also limited by the processing technology. LDS laser forming mainly relies on high-precision laser equipment to process materials. Materials of different colors have different absorption and reflection characteristics for lasers. For example, dark materials may absorb more laser energy, while light materials may reflect more energy. This means that during the processing process, for LDS materials of different colors, the laser power, frequency, and pulse width parameters need to be precisely adjusted to ensure that the laser can correctly form a conductive pattern on the surface of the material. If the color is not selected properly, it may lead to reduced processing accuracy, or even incomplete patterns or material damage.
In addition, the requirements of the application field also limit the color selection. In the field of electronic equipment, the color of the product appearance usually needs to match the brand image and overall design style. At the same time, some electronic products have high requirements for color resistance, wear resistance and other properties. For LDS Laser Forming Materials, it is not easy to meet both color appearance requirements and technical requirements such as good conductivity. For example, in the application of automotive interior parts, the color must not only be beautiful, but also withstand long-term light, friction and temperature changes, which makes it necessary to consider its durability and stability in color selection.
Although LDS Laser Forming Materials has many restrictions on color selection, with the continuous advancement of material science and processing technology, its color selection range is expected to gradually expand to meet more diverse market needs.
