Laser Photoplotting

Photo plotting is a critical process in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs). It involves the creation of a photographic image of a circuit design on a photoresist film, which is then used to etch the circuit onto a copper-clad board. The accuracy and quality of the photoplotting process play a significant role in the performance and reliability of the final product. NE Plotting Inc. is a leading provider of photoplotting services for PCB manufacturers, with over 25 years of experience in the industry.

​

NE Plotting Inc. offers a wide range of photoplotting services, including film plotting, direct imaging, and laser plotting. Film plotting is the traditional method of photoplotting, in which a photographic negative of the circuit design is produced on a film using a plotter. This film is then used to create a photoresist mask, which is applied to the copper-clad board before etching. Direct imaging is a more modern technique that involves the use of a high-resolution printer to print the circuit design directly onto the photoresist film. Laser plotting is a similar technique that uses a laser to expose the circuit design onto the photoresist film.

​

NE Plotting Inc. uses state-of-the-art equipment and software to ensure the accuracy and precision of its photoplotting services. The company's plotters and printers are capable of producing images with resolutions of up to 10,000 dpi, ensuring that even the smallest features of the circuit design are accurately reproduced. The company also uses advanced software tools to optimize the photoplotting process, including automatic aperture correction, which ensures that the correct aperture size is used for each feature of the circuit design.

NE Plotting Inc. prides itself on providing high-quality photoplotting services at competitive prices. The company's experienced technicians work closely with its customers to ensure that their specific requirements are met, and that the photoplotting process is tailored to their needs. NE Plotting Inc. offers fast turnaround times, with most orders completed within 24 to 48 hours, and same-day service available for urgent orders.

​

NE Plotting Inc. also offers additional services to complement its photoplotting offerings. The company can provide design rule checking (DRC) and electrical rule checking (ERC) services to ensure that the circuit design meets industry standards and is optimized for manufacturability. NE Plotting Inc. can also provide CAM data preparation services, which involve converting the circuit design data into a format that can be used by the PCB manufacturing equipment.

​

NE Plotting Inc. serves a wide range of customers in the PCB manufacturing industry, including small startups and large corporations. The company's customers include PCB fabricators, assembly houses, design firms, and hobbyists. NE Plotting Inc. prides itself on providing personalized service to all of its customers, regardless of the size of their order or the complexity of their circuit design.
