John,

I've been looking into this to acquire a tool from fresh. We have etch tanks 
on site but are looking for a tidier and more consistent method. I have come 
across T-Tech, but have also found the LPKF Protomat tool. Our interest is 
biased towards plated holes on metal backed substrates, T-Tech use a 
conductive glue that you drill out and LPKF actually plate the holes. If 
there are any other suppliers I would be interested too.

LPKF are a German firm
