System und Verfahren zur inkrementalen Herstellung von Schaltungsplatinen

摘要

Circuit boards are fabricated in an incremental fashion. Conventional design data representing a layout of the circuit board is received (102). The design data is transformed into a three-dimensional matrix of increments (e.g., cubes) representing the circuit board (104), where each increment within the matrix is identified by an address and is assigned a fabrication material. The circuit board is then built at a fabrication station by depositing the assigned fabrication materials onto a fabrication base in an incremental fashion as indicated by the matrix (106).
