PCB SMT Stencil Fabrication Capabilities | Laser‑Cut Stainless Steel Solutions
We specialize in high‑precision PCB SMT stencil fabrication using 100% laser‑cut Type 304 full‑hard stainless steel. Our SMT stencils deliver superior paste release, tight aperture tolerances, and fast lead times for global electronics assembly, prototyping, and mass production.
Core PCB SMT Stencil Manufacturing Technology
All our SMT stencils are 100% laser‑cut from Type 304 full‑hard stainless steel, ensuring industry‑leading finish quality.
We use a 0.001″ laser beam with 98% overlap to produce ultra‑smooth apertures for optimal paste release. Most fabricators use a 0.003″ laser, which causes mouse bites on aperture edges.
We offer three main formats: PCB prototype stencil, frameless foil stencil, and rigid permanently mounted stencil. All are customizable to match your printer and assembly line requirements.
