Hi David, In my case it is more like 210% more for an Electroform stencil 29" x 29", But we get drastically improved release and accuracy with the electroform that we do not get with the laser cut. We use SPI Systems (Solder Paste Inspection) to verify the repeatability and release. ________________________________ From: TechNet on behalf of David Tremmel Sent: Tue 4/8/2008 4:10 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Stencils Hello, How is everyone? Would anyone mind venturing a price comparison of a typical laser-cut stencil and an electroformed stencil would be approximately 15" x 15"? Are the electroformed %10 more expensive? %15?
