[[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.

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 Wood Shop.   

These are a few steps that will help you be successful in the PCB Lab.   

* Always inspect materials for nails or metal. Metal debris in wood will damage the equipment and possibly cause injury to you. 

* 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.  

* Gluing end grain together is a very weak joint.  

* Make sure the components you are using can handle the current required.  

* Make sure the process you are using is correct for your material type.  

* Ask someone knowledgeable if you have questions.

* Get help handling larger pieces of wood.

* Double check the installation direction of your components prior to installation.  

* When making dust turn on the dust filtration units.  

Here are a couple things to keep in mind:

Here are a couple things to keep in mind:

* Some wood dust can be toxic. Be aware of the type of wood you are working with.  

* Most of the solder in the PCB lab contains lead. Wash your hands after soldering.  

* Blades and cutters are very sharp so always think before touching.

* Use the fume extractors when soldering to prevent inhaling fumes.

* Be aware of the location of your fingers in relation to blades and cutters. Never let your hands or finger come close to the blade path.  

* 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.  

* 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 dust collector hoses or electrical cords.  

* Be aware of what is on the floor around you. Don't trip on any cords or other students stuff.

* May of the machines that remove material are very load.  Wear ear protection when needed.  

* 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.
