Patent ID: 7089160

Claim:
A method for determining at least one work location in a multi-layered laminated circuit panel, said method comprising: providing a first circuitized panel element having fiducial marks; providing at least one additional metallic panel element; providing a data file having reference coordinates with respect to a Cartesian coordinate system Oxy of said at least one multi-layered circuit panel work location and having reference coordinates of said fiducial marks of said first circitized panel element; laminating said first circuitized panel core element with said at least one additional metallic panel element to form said multi-layered circuit panel; measuring the locations of said fiducial marks of said first circuitized panel element in said coordinate system Oxy; comparing rotational and scalar coordinate offset of said fiducial mark locations of said first circuitized panel element with said reference coordinates of said fiducial marks of said first circuitized panel element; creating at least one modified work location by adjusting said data file with said rotational and scalar coordinate offset of said fiducial mark locations; and dimensionally modifying said multi-layered circuit panel at said modified work location.
