Projecta — Intelligent minds developed a desktop CNC machine that engraves an ink layer on the surface of the board to make your beautiful PCB designs ready for acid etching.
Working with old-school methods for PCB fabrication, you will take a lot of time working on your PCB, developing a film or transferring the ink, which may take a “while,” while Projecta can make your PCB in minutes.
From now you don’t have to develop films or count seconds on the laminator, the iron is back to its original job of ironing clothes. Give the PCB to Projecta and it knows what to do.
Projecta is quiet and clean, no effort that will exhaust you in the clean-up process after every PCB. Print and Go with Projecta. No conductive ink for the 3D printer, no photo resist films and developers, no Laminators, or any other material that you always have to buy to make a PCB. All you need is a simple marker that will last for a large number of PCBs.
Using Projecta:
Cover the PCB board with any available metallic marker (instead of photoresist films) and inside the machine there is an engraving bit connected to a mechanical piston which applies pressure while moving in 3 dimensions to engrave the ink layer rather than the copper layer and shape your circuit design on the PCB to produce the same quality and resolution achieved by photoresist dry films in very fast technique (few minutes) then only etching step is left and you got your design.
1- Finish your design on any PCB design software and export Gerber files.
2- Use any tool you are familiar with to generate the engraving code.
3- Color your PCB with the metallic marker and fix it well on the drawer.
4- With the software they provided with you just download the Code on Projecta. The special spindle will engrave the design in minutes and when done you will be able to open the drawer and get your PCB.
To ensure safety and stability Projecta has an auto-lock that will lock the drawer when it’s working.
Projecta is made of plastic so its body is almost weightless. Stepper motors and axis are inside the box.
