Talk:Occam process

Helping with citation?
For the reference number 6, the authors are: Hoa H. Le, Emily M. Carlson, Jason P. Chua and Scott M. Belcher. Given the template I was using I was unsure about how to add them. Can someone do that for me or say here what the right way is for multiple authors?

Advert tag
According to the advert tag: "You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason" Well I do object and here is why.

1. I do not work for the company, don't know anyone who does, I am a Mechanical Engineering student who did a report on manufacturing processes and found that the tin-solder method (also first done by a company) was adopted yet the Occam process was not yet widely adopted. (and therefore rests with one company so far) This article though is not my project, therefore not OR, my project was over 2000 words etc. This information is based on the references. The reason I feel it is encyclopedic is that it is a completely different way of building circuit boards, in a way a new piece of scientific research. Though one company developed the process, from all the readings I have done, not one supporter or questioner of this process talks about the selling of the process. Simply the adaptation of it. As far as I have found out the company is not selling anything but promoting a new way of SMT building.

2. I would like then to try and edit this to remove any tone or reason why the advert tagger thought this sounded like an ad! Please let me know why, and let's discuss it.

Thanks though for getting the convo rolling. Mech sj (talk) 11:43, 24 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually I just realized that one of the links seems to direct this page to being more of an advert so I am removing it.

adding copper
"This construction is then coated with copper where needed to provide traces."

Could you give an example of a process that is used in this step? Does the Occam Process imply some particular additive manufacturing method that places copper only in the desired locations? Or do some or all manufacturers, at this step of the Occam Process, use some some subtractive manufacturing process to dissolve or cut off the unwanted copper, leaving only copper in the desired locations, like most printed circuit board fabricators? --68.0.124.33 (talk) 15:45, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
