[[File:pcb_lab.jpeg|300px|thumb|The PCB Lab]] The Printed Circuit Board lab contains an electronics station (as in the Hub) with the Metcal soldering station and microscope. It also contains a Voltera V-One PCB Printer (which can print Gerber files onto a board, and can also print solder paste onto normally fabricated boards), a manual Pick-and-Place machine, a Reflow Oven, and a Reflow Station.

Before working with any of the equipment in the PCB Lab you will need to take the [https://foxtale.georgefox.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=31368 general lab quiz] as well as the specific quiz for each machine you are trying to use. The enrollment code for all of the quizzes is MakerHub.
+
==General PCB Lab Knowledge==
 +
Making/repairing circuits can be rewarding and fun as well as time consuming. One of the most used machines in the PCB Lab soldering iron.
 +
 
 +
In the PCB Lab, circuits are built and repaired using a variety of prototyping equipment.   
 +
 
 +
The equipment in the PCB Lab has its own special purpose and benefits. The pick n place allows you to quickly place surface mount components. Voltera printers use conductive ink to print out the traces for producing a circuit board. The curing oven quickly heats the paste on a circuit board and bonds the surface mount components to the circuit pads.
 +
 +
These are a few steps that will help you be successful in the PCB Lab. 
 +
* Always double check your circuit designs prior to attempting to print. If you can have a second set of eyes look for any issues that is always a good idea.   
 +
* Make sure the components you are using can handle the current required.
 +
* Ask someone knowledgeable if you have questions.
 +
* Double check the installation direction of your components prior to installation.
 +
Here are a couple things to keep in mind:
 +
* Most of the solder in the PCB lab contains lead. Wash your hands after soldering.
 +
* Use the fume extractors when soldering to prevent inhaling fumes.
 +
* Be aware of what your fingers are touching when soldering or working with hot equipment.
 +
* Be aware of people and what they are doing around you. Keep track of where your soldering iron is pointing and touching. 
 +
* Be aware of what is on the floor around you. Don't trip on any cords or other students stuff. 
 +
* Wear safety glasses when soldering or working with the drilling head on the Voltera.
 +
* If something feels like it could be dangerous ask a supervisor before attempting.
