Lecuture Notes

Starting this week every week a board.

Direct write processes

Use tape to hold board down or use clamps

Milling bit needs to be on the copper.

2 Sided boards Always make sure you have the exact same origin

Thursday Notes

Dual sided tape to stick FR-1 on

Only fasten one side with the black tape

When origin set. unfasten the mill and drop down the bit to the plate

Offset number how much extra passes around the lines to be done

After re-doing a file after a fault you should reset the machine. Using the up-down buttons. You should hold them for 10 seconds

The cut was not deep enough so we shoved a piece of paper under it and now it goes too deep. Maybe doing the paper single sided under there was enough.

for cutting out the pcb it's the same process except with a few different settings

Press plate down a bit and then calibrate the z for good cuts

With 0,1 mm milling bit need higher offset. Otherwise there would not be enough space between the traces.

Offset of 0 means remove all the excess copper
