How-To: Use a laser cutter to make PCBs

laserpcbs.jpg

I just started teaching a course in the Design & Technology department at Parsons the New School for Design. It’s called Beyond DIY, and it’s all about tutorial making and DIY projects. One of my students, Joe Saavedra, is quick out of the gate with his Instructable for using a laser cutter to prepare PCBs for etching. Did I mention they have a giant laser (Epilog 75W)? I’m really looking forward to the course. If you want to keep up with what they’re working on, check out the Beyond DIY class blog.
