Unleash the full potential of your ideas!
With the incredible technology available to us through CNC milling and pick and place automation we can achieve incredible custom solutions to difficult problems.
Over the years I have always had an interest in open hardware platforms like Arduino and Raspberry pi. Due to this interest I have amassed a wealth of knowledge in PCB modeling, PCB fabrication and PCB firmware integration. Equipped with this knowledge I am be able to make custom solutions for any electrical engineering application.
Empowering Innovation with Desktop CNC and Pick-and-Place Technology
Desktop CNC machines have revolutionized the landscape of PCB manufacturing, becoming more affordable and accessible than ever before. These versatile tools allow hobbyists and professionals alike to design and fabricate custom printed circuit boards right at home. Over time, the cost of these machines has dropped significantly, democratizing access to technology that was once the exclusive domain of large-scale industrial operations.
Complementing CNC machining are pick-and-place machines, which automate the assembly process by accurately placing components on PCBs. Companies like OpenPnP have made these systems available at a reasonable price point, offering extensive customization options with flexible G-code programming and hardware solutions. These machines can handle multiple reels of components, streamlining the mass production of custom boards and enabling rapid prototyping and professional-grade assembly in a home or small-scale workshop environment.
I will eventually create a comprehensive guide in the blog section on PCB manufacturing at home, covering everything you need to know to produce professional-quality circuit boards from start to finish.
As with all advanced technologies, there are ethical considerations to keep in mind. Responsible use of these tools is essential to ensure that innovation benefits society without inadvertently causing harm.
