SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INCREMENT MANUFACTURE OF CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

PURPOSE: To realize a mechanism which cost-efficiently meets high-density ultra-fine shape requirements for future PC boards by converting design data into a three-dimensional increment matrix to incrementally deposit manufacturing materials in shown increment modes. CONSTITUTION: A circuit board designer prepares design information and component characteristics on a CAD computer 120 and transfers them to a conversion computer 122. After transferring the converted data to a manufacturing station 124 which then produces circuit boards according to the three-dimensional matrix data. Manufacturing cabinets 132 produce the circuit boards, based on the three- dimensional matrix under the control of a manufacturing controller 134 while a raw material feed system 136 feeds manufacturing materials 126 to the cabinets 132. The completed circuit boards are ejected from the station 124 as shown by block 130, to realize a mechanism meeting high-density ultra-fine shape requirements for printed circuit boards.
