PCBs with picture punch

PCB PIXture is a new tool for PCB designers who want to increase the visual impact of their boards. There is a trend today to make visible more of the electronics in new products. PCB PIXture gives designers the opportunity to make their designs stand out from the competition and to generate powerful messages to their customers. Typical applications include front panels, keyboards, PCB assemblies sold as independent units, consumer electronics … - anywhere where the distinctive appearance of your PCB will make an important selling point. PCB PIXture allows you to take a photograph, logo or other graphical image and have it printed onto your PCB using standard PCB fabrication technology. The image can appear either in black and white as a solder mask image (maskPIXture) or in black and gold (goldPIXture and goldlogo). There are three options: • maskPIXture • goldPIXture • goldlogo maskPIXture We print the pixellated image in black and white solder mask. As this is a complete solder mask layer it has no effect on the functionality of the PCB. goldPIXture We produce the board with a gold overall surface finish and then define the image using black solder mask. We then screen a transparent soldermask over the top to seal the surface. goldlogo Define your logo as a graphical image or in vector text. We will produce the PCB with overall gold surface finish and define the logo as a solid image using black solder mask. We will then screen a transparent soldermask over the top to seal the surface.
