Description

There is hardly an industrial process which is as optimized and streamlined yet customizable and complex as printed circuit board (PCB) production. At the same time it is highly accessible to anyone from electronic engineers to hobbyists, enthusiasts or artists thanks to very competitive and affordable prices and easy to use tools. Production files can be uploaded online for instant quotes. On submission customers can get real-time updates on the production process.

In the class PCB Arts we will explore printed circuit boards as a medium for artistic expression and will discuss and realize individual projects based on this investigation.

While doing so we will acquire an intermediate knowledge of the involved processes and learn how to use free software for schematic and PCB layout creation.

Electrical functionality isn't a requirement for the result. The processes can also be utilized to create graphical works or the PCB can be a negative for relief printing processes.

This class will not cover the individual development of advanced circuitry, so you should either find an accompanying class for electronics or resort to existing and proven schematics.
