3D printing of PCBs?

I heard an ad for this company on the radio a few days ago. Has anyone here used this process?

Their website is unpleasant to me. It is of course a viable solution for some things.

I have heard of people taking plotters fitted with a little milling end instead of ink and took regular copper plated board and mill out where they didn't want to conduct. That has advantages actually because you got more copper conducting where you want.

What is even the advantage of the PC board in the first place ? Point to point I got 3D. My two grand amps will be built on boards that emulate a breadboard. Of course I will compact it and cut off what is not needed to keep stray capacitance down. The real power part doesn't need a board.

Bottom line it this is cool and all that but I do not see it doing anything for us.

The devil is in the details. It all depends on the capabilities and cost. Obviously it has potential for prototype quantities with fast turn around. In the "Non-Planar 3D Design Rules" it lists 8/6 mils minimum space/trace widths. That's not going to cut it for most designs these days.

Hey I know, genius. Why don't you print the rats nest that some of
the tube amps I saw decades ago looked like?

You don't know what a PC board is for? Wow.

And modern electronic devices like CPUs REQUIRE many multiple
layers.

If one is going to "3D print" heavy conductors to connect to high
current devices, one might as well use Silver.

How do you 'print' a Litz configuration "conductor"?

Well for one it costs $300 to refill my fucking printer. I'll never has another inkjet, bublejet or phaser or any of that shit. No more.

<You don't know what a PC board is for? Wow.

Well after a few years in the business the way I would put it is that RCA developed it, or had a hand in it and it is to facilitate more easy manufacture of electronics goods which increases profits, and facilitates much more automation which further increases profits.

layers.

Not specifically really, but it is about the only way to do it unless you want your laptop to not fit in the house.

The only time it makes sense to use silver is when you can use alot less of it and usually at least one other reason.

>How do you 'print' a Litz configuration "conductor"?

You tell me, I wouldn't try it. Just print the pads and buy what you need.

YES SPECIFICALLY.

Your "house sized" laptop would also be dog slow and riddled with
logic arrors.

And that separates it from Windows PCs just how ?

The discussion was about hardware dipshit.

Your iane OS jab is actually pretty stupid.

Windows is not slow. Insecure a bit perhaps, but NOT slow.

If you are having problems you would like to blame Windows for, I
suggest you upgrade your dog slow hardware, because the OS is not to
blame.

It sure is.

It's wildly inefficient.

I have not used it, but saw things similar at the Orlando FabTECH show.
Worth a visit, but I think the next one is in Chicago?

Anyway, I'm old. (-ish). And lazy.
So I get a tech to do the Gerbers and send them off to JLBPCB.
A week later, perfect boards are here - at ridiculously low cost.

Oh boy, a grammar lame lamer.

Your PC has one. Run to the bathroom and look in the mirror to see
it.

Incomplete. Is what? Which one?

You think a modern OS is slow?

Again, ya fucking dope, it is your PC and its operator.

Today, it is particularly the operator.

So either you were talking about the "insecure a bit" part or you
have again demonstrated that it is you whom is slow.

But since you are unable to specify in you vague, incomplete
response...


Stupid? You sure *is*.

The GUI generation front end user interface elements in Windows are
not any slower than those in Linux, except for those Linux machines
set up bare bones mode on their desktop.

Benchmarks of the same apps run just as fast under each.

The big slowdown today is the backtrack code that had to be created
by Intel to fix their vulnerability.

You were saying, ye of so little CS knowledge?

both slow & insecure

yep.

> Again, ya fucking dope, it is your PC and its operator.

it can't be either of those, since neither runs Windows.

Today, it is particularly the operator.

bzzt

the word is 'are', and again you're wrong. As almost always. Dunno how you manage that.

No, the slowness is primarily caused by inefficient code & failure to match code size to machine ability. This is why so many new computers are painfully slow.

Yeah... it takes out computer idiots like you, and leaves you
bitching like Donald J. Trump about shit that isn't even real.
While *US* real men USE the machine for what they were designed for.

Instant Karma, fucktard. *WE* can only hope it gets to you soon.

You are an abject idiot.

My laptop does 3D CAD and finite element analysis pretty swiftly.

Faster than any POS you ever owned. You do not have the experience
and observational tools (a working brain or decent PC) to understand,
much less profess on how (quickly) computers work. Obviously.

I put it in highlight, just for you. And I knew you would pull this
stupid baby bullshit... again. Wake up, fucktard. It was
deliberate.

You sure IS stupid, boy! (IS: Information System)

Slow PCs around here get scrapped. Windows is the biggest virus ever written. Junk. Like VHS, inferior but popular.

Twenty year old software on ten year old hardware. I never meant to keep it this long but it runs so well, and I have compared it to many newer ones and they just can't do it.

There is one OS I think is extra slow - Vista. It takes minutes to CLOSE Firefox. Even the GUI is slow, go into a text area and it is like a whole second sometimes before the cursor changes. And booting ? Go buy a new car and take a trip for a few days. And it has been like that since day one when I bought it new. It has about the same numbers as my XP box just a different OS.
