Is it possible to use a 3D printer to lay down the etch resist on blank circuit board?
If so it would make prototyping one-off's easier, and it would do registration between top and bottom on two sided boards perfectly.
My question is 1) will the stock melt enough to be sealed agains the copper. 2) has anyone tried it? Will the stock be removable at the end?
This just seems so much easier that photo and toner transfer methods, and the printers are getting cheaper and can handle pretty large areas.
