-You can always start out your SMT designs with [[http://​www.ladyada.net///​laserstencils.html|DIY laser-cut stencils]] but eventually you'll want to upgrade to a stenciling machine. Stencil machines hold the metal-cut stencil flat and taut so that you dont have any shifting or curling while you try to lay paste down. The good ones have a fixture so you can always get the same alignement every time - speeding up your stenciling time down to under a minute per PCB. They'​re a little expensive, but if you ever plan to do over 100 of a PCB they are essential!+You can always start out your SMT designs with [[http://​www.ladyada.net/​library/smt/​laserstencils.html|DIY laser-cut stencils]] but eventually you'll want to upgrade to a stenciling machine.
