Wire board prototyping method

Abstract

The modern development of new electronic devices requires rapid manufacturing of their prototypes. Printed circuit boards (PCB) used for this purpose are expensive and, as a rule, time consuming. PCB milling machines are also expensive. Here we propose a wire board manufacturing method that could be used in any laboratory for rapid prototyping of electronic devices. This method allows us to create wire boards for surface mounting technology, with space between pins down to 0.5 mm. This method demands no special equipment and makes it possible to manufacture a wire board in a few hours.
