[andre] sent in his first attempt at using a HD-DVD laser diode to expose photosensitive resist to create PC boards. We’ve been meaning to give this a shot with the ol’ Epilog laser cutter.

and it’s just begging to be converted into a PCB exposer. Following along similar hacks which tore the laser diode out of Blu-ray players to expose PCBs, they wanted to use the whole PHR-803T ...

Laser processing has emerged as an effective method of PCB depaneling due to its non-contact nature, narrow kerf width, and precision. This method eliminates part-induced stress and the need for ...
