Milling vs. Etching

ISOCAM

The situation:

  • You designed a PCB with your CAD package and now want to make a prototype or a small series by etching or by isolation milling.

The questions:

  • How do you check and correct the drill-, rout- and plot-data, their dimension and layer registration?                        
  • Do you want to make your prototype by isolation milling?

The answers:

  • IsoCAM reads your Gerber-, HP/GL, and drill  files. It offers you editing facilities like shift, mirror, copy, paste, delete and more on single vectors, groups of elements or entire layers.
  • IsoCAM can convert data into all of the  above mentioned formats. Windows Postscript output allows making film artworks.
  • IsoCAM comes with a worthy isolation milling converter with the feature of using two different tools in once and with the possibility of creating copper rubout areas.
  • The aperture table and the tool rack can be edited, saved and printed. A converter automatically reads the aperture information from most CAD packages.

 

ISOCAM PRO

Another, even more sophisticated CAM package is available. This should be your favorite choice if you…

  • need more than just an isolation milling engine or
  • want to make front panels or do cut-out routing of PCBs or
  • have to prepare board data for external customers or
  • need data uplink to PCB production houses or
  • have to prepare data for both cnc machines and photoplotter artwork at a time
