How to Create Your Own Bespoke, Artisanal, Hand-Drawn PCBs
ALTco showcased a method for creating hand-drawn PCBs in a recent video. While this technique is not practical for mass production due to precision challenges, it offers a unique aesthetic appeal. The process involves drawing directly on a copper blank and etching it, resulting in visually striking designs.

How to Create Your Own Bespoke, Artisanal, Hand-Drawn PCBsALTco demonstrated in a recent video that you can create your own hand-drawn PCBs.Cameron CowardFollow5 seconds ago • Art PCBs have always been made through automated processes, because that is kind of the entire point. But there isn’t any reason that they have to be done that way. In fact, ALTco demonstrated in a recent video that you can create your own bespoke, artisanal, hand-drawn PCBs.First, let’s get the obvious out of the way: this isn’t super practical. It is hard to draw precise component footprints by hand. It is also difficult to control the properties of the traces, which can be important in some cases. Finally, it takes more time — especially if you’re making more than one PCB.
