I have lurked in this group for about 10 years. The occasional
technological breakthroughs are amazing.
Anyway for those who are thinking of taking your hobby up to the next level and manufacturing your products on a real SMT machine. My program
PCB Synergy is there for you to download and try out on an old machine that you could pick up at a hobbiest price like a Zevatech 460 , 560 , 570 or a Yamaha YM6021,YM100 or an MPI etc. Don't feel cowered into not taking this step as I am happy to add an old machine into my program to make file generation on a win95 through win7 class machine possible without having to resort to hand data entry.
Anway the adress
