The Current Machine
A desktop manufacturing cell for in-house PCB prototyping. Here is what it can do today, and what is coming next.
Current possibilities
Available now- Maximum PCB size
- 100 × 150 mm
- PCB material
- 2-layer FR4, 1 oz copper, green soldermask, 0.8 or 1.6 mm thick
- PCB finish
- Immersion tin
- Min feature size
- 50 µm / 2 mil (trace or pad width plus spacing)
- Typical process time
- 1 hour for a 60 × 60 mm board
- Vias
- 0.3 / 0.4 mm — flexible predefined locations compatible with most 2-layer PCB designs
- Through-hole components
- Supported using unplated pad holes
In development
Coming next- Multilayer PCB fabrication: 4–8 copper layers with automated layer alignment and interlayer connectivity
- Solder paste application system
- Automated pick-and-place system with integrated component storage, retrieval, and loading
- Reflow system
