One thing that has to be considered when using rheometric pumps is that the board support should match as that of the pump head being used. You can print 6" boards, but you should really still use board supports upto 16". As mentioned previously if t

There are a couple of things that you can do. First thing to do is take a flashlight and shine it in the card edge connector of slot 2 and see if a passive component or any other part worked its way into that slot. This will cause multiple leads in

We charge a flat rate that covers Programming, Documentation, and Engineering fees. We arrived at the number by estimating an average time spent on these activities over a period of about a year. I lifted this method from a company that I used to w

Also coating costs depends on solids content vs final dry film thickness. Some newer UV coatings are 100% solids, so what you put down you get on the PCB after cure, use no solvents at all. So a cost to look at are qty of PCB per litre of material. T
