Canadian-based PCB manufacturer Candor Industries Inc. is well known in the industry for its ability to produce prototype standard circuit boards very quickly—often within 24 hours. More complex prototypes can be completed in three days and be in full production within 10.
Founded in 1999 by Yogen Patel, the company thrives on pushing the envelope of PCB manufacturing through continuous R&D. Several years ago, for example, Patel developed a positive acting liquid photoresist process that eliminates the need for many dangerous chemicals traditionally used in PCB fabrication. Since then the company works without formaldehyde dry-film and tin-lead resists, ammonia-based etch chemistry and all associated byproducts.
