As early as 1992, several FASTechnologies customers asked us to
develop a comprehensive "first article plot" package. Perfecting this system
required several years of field experience and testing. Today, the FASTechnologies FA/Plot package provides a complete solution for
eliminating drilled and routed test panels.
