Design, draw and develop represent three important ‘Ds’ for specialist screening can supplier Tecan. The south-coast company has introduced a highly-flexible 3-D Service where a wide range of cost-effective benefits are applied to individual printed circuit board screening can needs from concept to production.

Free consultation followed by ongoing advice and support are available from a dedicated design team offering savings in time and costs from the outset. The company welcomes entry into the system at any level, pointing out that value-engineered solutions are ongoing goals whatever the individual case – within a protective system dedicated to providing ‘defined costs with defined ends’.

Five levels of service are offered, from those who know they need screening but don’t know where to go next, to those with fully dimensioned drawings needing professional enhancements to incorporate special manufacturing techniques. Also on offer are design guidance, site visits, prototyping, sample production, finish and thickness options, forming, assembly and re-evaluation for cost reduction.

The company uses a range of well-established and proven manufacturing systems, such as photo-chemical machining (PCM) and punch/press, to provide cans for the most demanding low, medium and high-volume production needs. Cost-effective bespoke product production is the norm, says Tecan. Typical cans may include an open-ended selection of options such as fences, dividing walls, five-sided enclosures, labrynths, full enclosures, spring-finger lids, simple fold lids, folding spring lids and screening meshes. Resultant fabrications are compatible with all standard production requirements, including surface-mount, and are suitable for pick and place assembly.
