Printed circuit board milling. Milled Printed Circuit Board Printed circuit board milling (also: isolation milling) is the process of removing areas of copper from a sheet of printed circuit board material to recreate the pads, signal traces and structures according to patterns from a digital circuit board plan known as a layout file.

Printed circuit board milling

Similar to the more common and well known chemical PCB etch process, the PCB milling process is subtractive: material is removed to create the electrical isolation and ground planes required. However, unlike the chemical etch process, PCB milling is typically a non-chemical process and as such it can be completed in a typical office or lab environment without exposure to hazardous chemicals. High quality circuit boards can be produced using either process. Advantages[edit] PCB milling has advantages for both prototyping and also for some specialist PCB designs. Prototyping can provide a fast-turnaround board production process without the need for wet processing. Hardware[edit] Fab lab. A fab lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small-scale workshop offering (personal) digital fabrication.[1][2] A fab lab is generally equipped with an array of flexible computer controlled tools that cover several different length scales and various materials, with the aim to make "almost anything".[3] This includes technology-enabled products generally perceived as limited to mass production.

Fab lab

While fab labs have yet to compete with mass production and its associated economies of scale in fabricating widely distributed products, they have already shown the potential to empower individuals to create smart devices for themselves. These devices can be tailored to local or personal needs in ways that are not practical or economical using mass production. History[edit] Popular equipment and projects[edit] Flexible manufacturing equipment within a fab lab can include: FabFi[edit] List of labs[edit] MIT maintains a listing of all official Fab Labs, worldwide.

The range stretches from simple sequences in small machines to complex factory wide or even global processes. The star in this niche is a system called Proview.se While the name may not be familiar to most people, the system has proved itself in the Swedish steel manufacturing business for more than two decades. It is actively developed and maintained and has a very interesting and active forum. Arduino is a project aiming for easy prototyping of smaller electronic systems. My project is to provide an I/O module based on Arduino but designed to work in industrial environment with noise, dust etc. I will post my progress here…. Martin The tests I have carried out so far is with an Arduino Ethernet card arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardEthernet I will try to focus on price reduction later on when I at least have a card that works.
