What does a CNC machinist do? A computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine uses a program to control the operation of the machine. The machine takes raw stock (metal, plastic, etc.) and cuts, grinds, drills, turns, mills, and/or shapes it into parts that meet exact specifications. A machinist is a person that operates, sets-up, and programs CNC machines. The machinist will use a variety of inspection processes to verify part conformity.

This book was designed to be a handy reference for anyone needing a quick overview of PCB fabrication processes and the definitions of technical terms related to the PCB manufacturing process. We have comprehensive descriptions of various technologies, complete with illustrations as well as an extensive glossary of common industry terms.

To provide a complete understanding of PCB technology and process considerations used in the market, ASC thought it would be beneficial to partner with the authors of The PCB 101 Handbook, Robert Tarzwell and Dan Beaulieu, and together we have written a more comprehensive version of their original book.

Our vision was to provide our customers with an extensive understanding of design and printed circuit board fabrication techniques. The processes covered range from single-sided and double-sided construction to the higher technologies such as flex, rigid-flex, and metal-backed printed circuit boards. Further, we wanted to provide a book that would demonstrate design considerations from standard product to advanced technology.
