 === Overview ===
+The LPKF ProtoMat S103 is a 2.5-D CNC mill capable of drilling, milling, and routing to manufacture printed circuit board (PCB) and 2.5D structures on a variety of substrates. The tool is located in the Semi-Clean Room on the 1st floor of the IDC. It is part of the IDC’s PCB fabrication process flow. The tool uses a moving tray and toolhead that allow autonomous movement across the work space with a tool exchange methodology that allows for different mechanical processes to be carried out without user intervention, and a highly-accurate alignment algorithm that enables multi-machine fabrication processes.
+Substrates:
+  * Fiberglass-based or carbon fiber reinforced polymers, including FR4
+    * The Hive provides 0.5 oz and 1 oz double-sided copper on 1.55mm FR4.
+  * PTFE or ceramic-filled base material
+  * Wood
+  * Nonferrous materials, such as aluminum or brass
+  * Plastics such as polyoxymethylen (“Delrin”), or ABS-Copolymere
+Tool sizes
+  * Drill bits between 0.15mm and 3mm
+  * Contour routing, 1mm or 2mm
+  * Milling bits between 0.8mm and 3mm
+  * “Universal” cutting bits, 0.1 or 0.2mm
