Hi all,

following the discussion about the solder paste stencils i wonder
if it is possible to dispense the solder paste with a cnc machine.

In my opinion a stencil does not make much sense if you only have one pcb,
or maybe very few.

Would if work to mount a syringe type dispenser to a cnc?
I think it might be a big problem to ensure the paste bead is really placed
on the board and doesn't stick to the tip and is smeared all over the
place.


Just wondering if it would be possible with no intention to build.
