Line 1:
This is a central listing point for suppliers and assembly shops, intended for manufacturers looking to build analog-synth electronics in small quantities.
WARNING: this info is for experienced, knowledgeable prospective manufacturers only! Making electronics, even in small quantities, is a complex and detail-riddled business. No matter how smart or clever your new DIY design is, making quantities of it can be a major PITA. Many people have tried to make synth modules and other electronic-sound gadgets in the past 40+ years, and the great majority of them have failed. These suppliers are NOT running educational programs for hobbyists, so please do not attempt to rely on them to help you work out the "bugs".

This is a commonplace process that prints color ink on aluminum, which is then anodized into place. The result is a very high-resolution artwork, better than screenprinting, and tougher than other methods because the anodized oxide coating is very tough and protects the artwork.

Many companies offer this service. They typically do not perform drilling, punching, or other sheet-metal fabrication; such operations would have to be performed by a sheet-metal specialist or by the manufacturer. Most "Dotcom" and all Doepfer module panels are made with the metalprint process.
