Voltera team designs circuit board prototyping machine
Circuit boards made easily... where have you heard that before? You probably saw the news back in July about a Kickstarter campaign for Squink, a personal electronic-circuit factory for making circuit prototyping as easy and seamless as possible. The team behind Squink, BotFactory, had turned to crowdfunding, and their website's home page said, instead of waiting days for a printed circuit board, their printer can print conductive traces in minutes from Gerber files you are already making and they can print from other image formats too. "Our goal is to reduce the cost and time associated with electronics prototyping by providing technologies that allow such optimizations in an in-house environment. Our technologies enable our customers to shorten their development cycles, making them more productive an efficient, while allowing us to create a market around Agile Electronics Development." Using inkjet technology, Squink prints conductive ink on a surface to create the...
