PHOTOPLOTTER
Our FilmStar is a small raster photoplotter designed for users who need to make their designed for users who need to make their quality film artwork at a low price and quickly on the spot. Beside Gerber files (both standard and extended), FilmStar also works with TIFF data generated by the Eagle (tm)(R) layout system or simply with hi-res BMP files like those that you can export from standard software, say Corel Draw (tm)(R) or similar. Although FilmStar is a small and slow photoplotter it does a very good job. The astonishing low price is a result of both sophisticated design and low manufacturing cost.
The film is fixed on the rotating drum. The laser diode moves step by step along the rotating drum by means of a precision, stepper motor driven screw. Also the rotating drum is stepper motor controlled. FilmStar receives the plot data from the user´s PC. The driver software is included in the delivery. This software allows to do D-Code conversion and editing, film arrangement, film and drill panelization, reverse and mirror image, preview, print preview, etc. |
