The speed of production of our Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) is progressing. Nonetheless the demands of busy electronicists are more and more difficult to satisfy: we want every PCB in an instant!
With the PCB printer, the dream seems close to reality, but in practice it’s not quite there yet, though it’s getting pretty close, as shown by this video by Jonny Bergdahl: right in front of our bewildered eyes his Voltera V-One printer produces in a mere half-hour the printed circuit board of a prototype GPS module of his own design.
This video does not show it all, but this same device is also capable, once the tracks are printed, of applying the solder paste and reflowing the surface mount components.
