✦ Synopsis


Modern printed circuits are manufactured using a mask. This mask can be prepared by directin~ a light beam around a photographic plate to describe the required circuit. An etching process is then used to transfer the circuit from the photographic plate (the mask) to the circuit board.

A description is given of the techniques used to transfer a circuit design into a form suitable for input to a computer and thence into a data tape for use in controlling a high accuracy plotter, where the actual mask can be created using a light head. The work was performed using the CADMAC computer aided design system to formulate the data tape. This tape was subsequently used with a high accuracy Kingmatic plotter.
