Gerber, I think, used to have a system using a tiny router (like a drill
bit, except designed to cut sideways) to cut out circuit traces for board
prototyping.
Roland packaged a system with a plotter and swiveling exacto knife "pen"
that most sign shops used to cut letters for banners etc.
I had one fellow describe to me how he rigged his
pen in the 7475 so he
could draw his PCB layouts directly on the copper. That certainly wouldn't
work with my inkjet printer!
I've heard that there are knifes available that can be used in them to
cut strip lines on copper PCB and knifes for cutting out vinyl and other
materials but I don't know what they cost or where you can get them. Does
anyone know any more about them?
