Overview

This section will quickly touch on the basics of what our system can do. When done with this page, just mouse-over the "START HERE" button to select more information about each of these subjects.

 

QUICK NOTE ABOUT OUR SITE! Our menu is structured with drop-down selections. Whatever button you select will stay UNDERLINED. If you hover your mouse over that menu item the drop-down box will further tell you which page you're on in that particular grouping. We have a lot of information here and hope you find this menu design an easy way to navigate. Let us know what you don't like about it.

 

So let's start with what "PCB Fab-In-A-Box" can do. The PCB pic below is a prime example. This double-sided board is less than 1 square inch squre for starters! Take note of the holes on the sides which are for the final addition of conventional .1" headers, but it's what's IN BETWEEN these pins that makes this the ideal example sent in from one of our customers.

Notice the detail, fine trace pitch and cleanliness. This has never been attainable in the past with the "direct etch" process but due to improved technique, materials and higher resolution laser printers, it's now a reality. This board was made with our .032" thick, 1/2oz copper laminate with an etch time of under 1 minute (without even using an etching tank!)

 

 

 

The process of transferring toner by re-fusing an image to a copper surface began back in the early 90's.

It has come a long way since then, turning it from an 'art' to a 'science' as a dependable, repeatable, high resolution method for instant PCB fabrication.

The ideal solution for both start-up businesses and those with low volume or custom products, to be able to maintain control over production costs.

There is no need to send out for a 100+ boards to be made when you can make just the quantity you need 'on demand' plus, there's no wait times! There is more labor involved but that's a simple trade-off for keeping costs extremely low.

New product design normally goes through several iterations before everything fits exactly right. Why send off for expensive "proto" PCB's for each redesign or component reposition?

PCB Fab-In-A-Box® allows you to make change after change without the high expense and long wait times of multiple "proto" boards being sent out to be fabricated. DIY and save a bundle of time and money. Of course once the design has been finalized, by all means have a pre-production board made. The point being... with our system, you should only have to pay for a pre-production "proto" board just ONCE!

 

And equally important for prototype boards and most 1up projects, the PCB is only half the game. What about WHERE the PCB is going?

Whether it's a 1-up project or a prototype for developmental R&D, you need the enclosure to look as good as the board, right? Our sister product developed back in 2003 came out of the basic concept of this PCB fab product. It is called DecalPRO® and enables you to make your own real, no kidding "dry-transfer graphics" in 8 minutes flat. This is a "must see" as there is nothing to date on the market to enable you, the end-user to be able to make your own custom images "on-demand". It's a first of its kind and extremely powerful. Best of all there are several items that are common to this PCB Fab system.

The 2" x 3" project enclosure shown above was created with DecalPRO in about 8 minutes using nothing more than a B&W laser printer (or copier). Yes, DecalPRO makes black toner white! Can you say,"I must be in Heaven"? We will introduce you to DecalPRO® and how it dove-tails perfectly wtih our PCB Fab-In-A-Box® to give you unlimited power to create your entire project totally in-house on your schedule for pennies per square inch. There is nothing on the market that can do for you what this can do... and it's not expensive!

Our two processes (PCB Fab-In-A-Box and DecalPRO) are similar in execution but completely different in their own right. The TIA applicator (laminator device), transfer paper and white foil are the same for both products which further reduces your over all cost to be able to incorporate PCB fab and professionally made graphics. Together they are an extremely powerful combination for any project or prototype. As illuded to above, the white graphics shown above starts out as regular 'old black toner printed onto the transfer paper and is then converted to white with a same white foil included in this PCB Fab-In-A-Box kit (used for making "silkscreen" images on your boards). It's truly a revolutionary product!
