Mechanical PCB etching
Hi to the list!
I usually hang out at the CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO list, but as I have been
working towards using a CNC to "etch" a board, I thought I'd post a few
comments here!
Not that I'm anti-chemical

Re: Mechanical PCB etching
Hi Alan -
We meet again ;-)
I will be interested to hear how you get on - strikes me that generating an outline from Gerber is potentially non-trivial. Would love to make use of any results you

Re: PICBASIC-L direct PCB board printing
Maybe some thin heat resistant tape over the edges to
protect the drum. Is that 1/4 Oz board from Digikey?
Look for printers that say something like "true
straight-through paper path".
Or dig

Re: Mechanical PCB etching
Hi Tony!
Yes, surprise, surprise! To do the outlines from a Gerber file, I build
a table of nodes (typically the pads), and add connection data to each
entry. the connection data is the number of

Re: PICBASIC-L direct PCB board printing
I wonder if toner would make a good solder mask, used
this way? Obviously you can't coat the whole board,
but just leaving it on the traces and cleaning it off
the pads could be a great idea.
Hmm...

Re: New file uploaded to Homebrew_PCBs
And if it's a demo what's the limitations?
is it crippled in any way?
I think we should know this before we waste our time to download and then
see that it's not of any use to us.

Re: Mechanical PCB etching
Hi Bob,
Yes, the DXF files are a good export file for such work. You may also
be able to use .PLT (plot files).
I don't know about new menus in Autocad, I intend to do board design in
Eagle.

Re: New file uploaded to Homebrew_PCBs
I don't do crack. It is a demo the only limit is no save but you can print,
export to cam, metafile, bmp. Has auto router, easy to use interface, will
export nc file and Gerber and many more features.
