− | PCB Printer is a fantastic tool for prototyping PCBs. After uploading Gerber files from Altium or a related software, Voltera will be able to print traces, pads, and bake them all in one location. However, the PCB Lab has a different tool for baking due to the amount of people it needs to accommodate, users will only be able to print traces and pads. Before beginning with your PCB, it is imperative that it is completely flat, meaning no components are installed, as it will result in breaking the nozzle of the dispenser, or it will be unable to calibrate correctly. | + | PCB Printer is a fantastic tool for prototyping PCBs.
