-==== Introduction ====+===== Introduction ​=====
 This instruction is about producing printed circuit boards (PCBs) from already prepared designs. There are two major techniques for PCB manufacturing. For prototyping purposes it is popular to use a special milling machine for PCBs. The faculty uses a LPKF ProtoMat S62 in its [[ee:​electricalworkshop|electrical workshop]]. EAGLE board designs are exported to gerber and excellon files and after making some adjustments in a CAM tool like CircuitCAM designs can be used for milling out copper-clad boards. The machine isolates all traces on the board and drills holes where necessary. This instruction is about producing printed circuit boards (PCBs) from already prepared designs.
