One shop I've had experience in the past with is Coretech: http://www.coretec-inc.com/ They can do up to 6-oz copper. At the employer I worked at we had them do some rather heavy heat sinking on a fab for us. Below are a few views that show the copper that was in the fab...it was so remarkable I posted pictures on my web page. It was a 12-layer board with the heak sinks on layers 2 and 11. The laminate was then machined down around the edges to the surface of the copper to accommodate a frame that pulled the heat from the assembly out to a chassis. The bare fab was around 8" X 10" and must have weighed close to 2-3 lbs. http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com/HeavyMetal.jpg http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com/HeavyMetal2.jpg http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com/HeavyMetal3.jpg -Steve Gregory- -----Original Message----- From: DesignerCouncil [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Dee Stover Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 2:21 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [DC] heavy copper Hello all, I am looking for shops that can do heavy copper and or some embedded metal for heat sinking. Does any one have some fab shops to recommend for this?
