The goal of this project is to bring better PCB fabrication to everyday hobbyist and engineers.

To reach the project's goal smaller goals must first be realized. These are:

1) Etch copper boards using a re-usable autonomous method. 2) Add solder mask to etched boards easily and cheaply. 3) Add silkscreen easily and cheaply. 4) Implement previous goals in multilayer board.

Goal 1) The idea in this goal is to use an active mask to project the pattern onto the copper boards. This will be done by an LCD display attached to a small yet powerful CPU (Maybe a BeagleBoard)that can render gerber files and display them. The LCD will have a custom UV backlight to prepare the treated copper boards for etching. This will eliminate the need to print toner on copper or tape printed patterns onto the copper.
