As if that weren’t enough, the machine then cuts traces on the other side of the board vias created by filling drilled holes with copper rivets and peening them over with a mandrel and a few light hammer taps connect the two sides. The first video below shows the machine milling 0.1 mm traces in FR4 the scale of the operation only becomes apparent when a gigantic toothbrush enters the frame to clear away a little swarf. While it appears to be optimized for PCB milling and drilling, the company also shows it milling metals, wood, plastic, and even glass. The machine is from an outfit called WEGSTR, based in the Czech Republic. But you’ve just got to watch this PCB milling CNC machine go through its paces! We’ve seen CNC machines perform feats of precision that shouldn’t be possible, whether it be milling a complex jet engine turbine blade or just squirting out hot plastic.
Thanks Much.We know that by this point in the development of CNC technology, nothing should amaze us. I guess I'm saying is positioned as a breadboarding tool before going to a much more structured workflow. that you can quickly switch back and forth from in addition to the trace and plane layers. We have seen Inkscape PCB designs with as many as 30 illustration layers containing schematics, cell phone pictures, logic tables, etc. Inkscapes leaning curve is quick and once you start using it for PCBs you tend to like doing it this way, it becomes a free form creative tool that builds on itself as you use it. We have had good success with people wanting to reverse engineer PCB's that the tools that were used to design them either no longer exist, or have evolved to the point that the design is no longer supported. Many of my Engineer friends are now using this approach, especially when they have RF circuits or very geometrically involved layout issues that a true vector tool like Inkscape excels at. Our Amazon server costs are constantly going down. PCB board fabrication houses like are getting very inexpensive along with faster delivery. Using CAD tools such as AutoCad, OrCad, Protel, etc have a pretty steep learning curve that an experimenter may not want to tackle.
Converting to gerber and drill can be pretty involved. The main premise of what we have is a way for an Arduino experimenter to quickly and inexpensively sketch his circuit idea using an extremely popular and easy to use free vector illustration program called Inkscape and send it to our servers for design rule checks and conversion to gerber files and drill files.
