Hello All.
I'm working on a project to bring rapid prototyping to electronics. You can think of it as a 3D printer for circuits.
Instead of being a milling or etching machine, It uses conductive ink, conductive glue and a simplified Pick-and-Place system to create a board on different substrates, including paper and transparency film. The cost of manufacturing is as low as US$5 per board, and it can get a fully assembled circuit in around 30 minutes.
Our thesis is that engineers could develop devices much faster if they could prototype at low costs and really fast, like in software development. Agile development of electronics is where we believe our value is.
I would like to get your feedback, comments and questions on the idea.
We have a webpage, but we don't want to intrude and make you feel like we're spamming you. We're here for the feedback.
Thanks in advance.
Carlos
