It is accurate enough to make SMD, <em>Small Micro Devices<\/em> et <em>through hole<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previously, the creation process was done from punched cards. This process was more time-consuming and laborious, and increased the risk of error due to the multitude of wires and solder joints required to produce a functional circuit. This new tool, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voltera.io\/v-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the V-One<\/a>, eliminates this process and produces a complex schematic directly. In addition, since these circuits were manufactured outside the region, it was difficult to control deadlines and quality. It is now possible to design, print and test in a very short time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advantage of the V-one tool? It allows us to make two-sided circuits on various materials, from fabric to fiberglass panels. Yes, yes, fabric! The printer supports several types of conductive alloys for its printing such as silver or copper paste. Not to mention that it has a heating plate that allows &#8220;reflow&#8221; soldering.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-921da78 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"921da78\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f5f83e1\" data-id=\"f5f83e1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4503ca6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4503ca6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need advice on the choice of circuit types and equipment or assistance with the installation or maintenance of your hydraulic system, please <a href=\"https:\/\/hphydraulique.com\/en\/contact\/\">contact us<\/a>.
