3.- Picture #3 shows my panel, almost ready to etch. 4.- As you can see on image #4, I used the pnp-blue plastic left over to cover the back of the panel, this is important, you have to cover every part of the panel not going to be etched to prevent the acid from damaging ...
1. What are some alternative methods to etching a circuit board at home? If you can't access traditional etching chemicals, consider these alternatives:Laser printing and ironing: Print your circuit design onto glossy paper using a laser printer and then transfer it to the copper board using ...
b. Laser-cutting: Acrylic keychains are usually produced using laser-cutting. The laser beam precisely cuts the material, following the outline of the design. c. Hole Punching: You must create a hole to attach different accessories to the ring. Specialized hole-punching tools are available for...
Digital fabrication lasers include CO2, diode, and fiber. Figure 1 illustrates the laser wavelengths used in these laser devices. Invisible CO2 lasers are used for cutting/etching materials like wood and acrylic while such tools can only etch materials like glass, metal, or slate. Many hobbyists...

The CD fabrication machine uses a high-powered laser to etch the bump pattern into photoresist material coated onto a glass plate. Through an elaborate imprinting process, this pattern is pressed onto acrylic discs. The discs are then coated with aluminum (or another metal) to create the ...
In the last section, we saw that conventional CDs store digital data as a pattern of bumps and flat areas, arranged in a long spiral track. The CD fabrication machine uses a high-powered laser to etch the bump pattern intophotoresistmaterial coated onto a glass plate. Through an elaborateimp...
What I learned: I stuck the waxes to the acrylic sheet before pouring the investment. The plastic turned out to be very useful, as I could bend it after the investment was set up, and pop it off. I ruined a whole casting by using glass as a base, and couldn't easily get the ...
No laser, no isolation table, no darkroom, no expensive film plates. This takes nothing more than a compass and some scraps of plexiglas. Too cool, if I say so myself! There's an interesting story behind this technique, but first, the instructions. Obtain a small piece of acryli...
