TechNet - I know our MacDermid booth was next to "BeamWorks" at the SMTAI  
show in Orlando in October.  I just thought laser soldering by BeamWorks  was a 
new idea.  I have absolutely no opinion about BeamWorks except I  got some 
ideas for special applications from seeing them work their laaser  soldering 
machine.  I can guess that laser soldering is quite CAD/Gerber  programming 
dependent.  Seems to me they were dispensing and laser  soldering - guess if you 
know where you dispensed it, you know where to melt it.  Comments?

Yes it  did fade away, although I am not sure it ever really blommed. I
remember  when I put a laser soldering YAG system  on the SMARTEX  exhibition
production line in Wiesbaden Germany in 1987 that  :

A    It worked fantastically well
B    Everone  was excited about it
C    The yields were fantastic
D   Nothing ever came of  it...............cost??
