this is impressive and shows the steady progress Chris and team has made since inception - well through the 'valley of death' for new start up - its onward and upward from here !!
Nice facility. Any chance of posting a few short videos of the people and machines at work?
@Chris, What sort of beastly machines make those oh so pretty APM PCB's??
thank you chris, i am happy of the new factory hope to see more updates on 3DR. I am very happy of my APM2.5
Jan, it's also worth noting that the whole floor has been coated with special anti-ESD wax.
@chris thank you for the info. just wondering, coz i use to work before at a semicon and electronics company as a wirebond and smd technician.
Jan: All the smocks are ground-strapped to the ESD mats and they wear ESD booties. In addition, high ESD risk areas have ionizers blowing over the work surfaces.
OH my they dont use FINGER COTS and GROUND STRAP for ESD electrostatic-sensitive device it will damage the flight controller
Fantastic work Chris & Co.
Images like this assure me that this hobby is worth the investment.
Keep up the great work!
It's very nice! Clean too, almost too clean! Need some motivational artwork around there, such as photos of the products in use. I know if I was soldering away all day on a board (that by itself didn't do anything), to see what it could do would be pretty neat! Although they may get to see plenty of that, I have no idea. :-)
