BotFactory Squink
BotFactory Squink Information
The BotFactory Squink is our Desktop PCB Printer, capable of printing multilayer circuits, dispensing paste onto pads and pick-and-placing components onto the board. All of the processes found in any PCB Factory are miniaturized to fit within a package so small that it can fit between your computer and your oscilloscope.
- MakerSpace Orientation and BotFactory Squink Training are required before using this machine.
- Presently, the BotFactory Squink Training can be requested via email to tandon-makerspace@nyu.edu.
- Visit our Training Page to learn about our MakerSpace Orientation, other machines, and services available at the MakerSpace.
- Squink is controlled via a local network connection using a browser so no software is required.
