Company Name: PCB Milling

Company Type: Manufacturing

Company Profile

PCB Milling started in 1998 as a business dedicated to producing low-cost, precision prototype PC boards for hobbyists, consultants, and other professionals. The equipment used for board fabrication was a LPKF Protomat 91s/HS plotter. Later, engineering and PCB layout services were added to the business portfolio. Despite my best attempts at making a go of the business, equipment issues, as well as the difficulty in developing an effective pricing structure, made expansion of the business impractial. With effectively nothing to build on, I decided to close the business in 2001 and retain the web site as a hobby. Owner & Webmaster Mark D.

About Company

PC board fabrication using mechanical etching methods is not new. Several companies make equipment using engraving and routing tools to fabricate prototype-quality boards. Despite the two big names in the industry - LPKF and T-Tech, there are others out there that many people are not aware of. Check out this site for information on the various machines available, as well as other information related to tooling, materials, methodology, and examples of mechanically-etched boards.
