Week 4 Group Project

Group Assignment

For this week, our assignment as a group was to:

Characterize the design rules for your in-house PCB production process: document feeds, speeds, plunge rate, depth of cut (traces and outline) and tooling.
Document the workflow for sending a PCB to a board house
Document your work to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned

The group's full documentation can be found on our Group Project Page.

Individual Contribution

I was responsible for defining milling terms; designing the milling trace test; executing the milling trace test for the 1/16" bit, the 1/32" bit, and the 1/64" bit; characterization of the bits and their specifications; and documenting.
