Category:PCB PCB Manufacturing
PCB manufacturing consists of many steps, such as PCB CAM, Panelization, Copper patterning, etc. This group is mainly talked about the problems during PCB manufacturing!
Everyone has their favorite process for PCB fabrication, as long as you’re a happy hacker I don’t think it really matters. But in this post I thought it might be interesting to describe my personal pr...(view more)
A little while ago, a guy emailed me and said he wanted to practice his programming skills and therefore had made a site for comparing prices for circuit boards. I checked it out, and it wasactu...(view more)
The silkscreen is a helpful tool in identifying components on the board. During PCB layout it should be designed for a consistent flow that allows easy identification of parts while using a minimum of...(view more)
There will come a time when the pin numbering on one of your library components just isn’t right. Gates could be swapped during the design process; you’re copying a high pin count component to make a ...(view more)
Dealing with PCBs day in and day out gives us a lot of exposure to good and bad engineering drawings. It is rare that we come across engineering drawings that are complete enough to create a comprehen...(view more)
Recently, I designed a circuit board for a quadcopter. When I design a new printed circuit board (PCB), I always ask myself a few questions before I start. The more decisions you can make be...(view more)
Despite what you may have heard, those 40 Watt laser cutters actuallycancut out traces on your next PCB. Since he got his laser cutter a year and a half ago, [Rich] over at Nothing Labs has bee...(view more)
From what we’ve seen we’d say [Jianyi Liu] is really good at etching PCBs at home. Now you can learn from his experience. He just published a mammoth guide to fabricating your own PCBs at home. That l...(view more)
If you’ve ever made double-sided PCBs without professional equipment, you had to deal with connecting one side of the board to the other. You have a few obvious choices: 1) Rely on component leads to ...(view more)
sent in his first attempt at using a HD-DVD laser diode to expose photosensitive resist to create PC boards. We’ve been meaning to give this a shot with the ol’ Epilog laser cutter. For the test, he c...(view more)
