Jack of all trades, master of none, as the saying goes, and that’s especially true for PCB prototyping tools. Sure, it’s possible to use a CNC router to mill out a PCB, and ditto for a fiber laser.

While low-cost professional PCB fabrication has largely supplanted making circuit boards at home, there’s still something to be said for being able to go from design to prototype in an afternoon.

First, a Mazak fiber laser cuts a nest of parts, including cutouts, holes, and part perimeters. Unlike in a conventional nest, however, the laser leaves a relatively thick microjoint, ensuring the ...
