&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;=Basics=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Part of the [[Open Source Electronics Construction Set]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- A device that uses a photosensitive maskant and a laser/dlp projector to create the traces in the maskant.  This is then etched using a chemical etchant&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Can allow for easier production of large volumes of PCB&amp;#039;s quickly when compared to the [[D3D CNC Circuit Mill]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Used For=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- PCB Production&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- IC Production&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Possibly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Industry Standards=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Existing Open Source Devices=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Minimum Viable Product=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Fast&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Easy to Use (upload file and press print)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Recycles its own / can use recycled chemicals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Cheap to run&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Scalable (both in physical size ,and precision/ability (ie pcb engraving at the low end and cpu manufacture at the high end)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Basic Design=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Feedstock Module==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- 1 or more of these&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Holds PCB&amp;#039;s, Silicon wafers etc&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Conveyor Belt Module==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Carryies feedstock from the feedstock module to the next module&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- should be relitively unreactive (ie Plastic or ceramic)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Prewash Module==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Washes and dries the feedstock to prevent contamination errors in the next modules&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Photoresist application module==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Applies the Photoresist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Exposure Module==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Exposes the photoresist to light&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Can be either a pattern in front of a UV Lamp, a laser, or a DLP UV Projector&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Post Exposure Cleaning Module==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Cleans off the exposed photoresist &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etching Module==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Is a bath of chemical etchant that the conveyor belt dips into&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Dissolves the areas not protected by undeveloped photoresist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Post Etching Cleaning Module==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Removes the Etchant&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Post Processing Module==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Removes any remaining photoresist + delivers the finished product to the end of the conveyor belt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
