Although the typical cliché for a mad scientist usually involves Bunsen burners, beakers, and retorts, most of us (with some exceptions, of course) aren’t really chemists. However, there are some ...

Plasma Etch Inc. is excited to introduce the Magna series printed circuit board (PCB) etching system. It is the first plasma etching system that requires no CF4 in the manufacturing production of PCBs ...

Through precise control of the etching process, a researcher in Oxford University’s Photofabrication Unit has made the reliable production of high resolution printed circuit board (PCBs), with ...

CNC machining mills away copper using a CNC router and design software chemical etching uses UV light, photo-resist, and chemicals to remove copper CNC machining is safer and less wasteful, but slower ...

After my DIY article “Build Your Own Headphone Amp” in the May 25 issue, the good folks at Radio World asked me to share the process by which I make printed circuit boards. There are usually two ...

The copper layers of a printed circuit board are the central focus of any circuit design, the other layers only support or protect the circuit, or simplify the assembly process. For starting PCB ...

While low-cost professional PCB fabrication has largely supplanted making circuit boards at home, there’s still something to be said for being able to go from design to prototype in an afternoon.
