US PCB fab at $0.75/in² when JLCPCB and PCBWay dominate overseas.

Strengths
  • •Real-time panel utilization dashboard shows transparency into fill levels and pricing tiers.
  • •Price locking at order time protects customers from rate changes as panels fill.
  • •5-day US service addresses genuine pain point for low-volume domestic manufacturing.
Weaknesses
  • •Beta program status means pricing and lead times may shift as they scale.
  • •$25 minimum fabrication fee may deter very small prototype orders.

Post Description

I've been pretty frustrated with the state of US electronics manufacturing. It's pretty much unavailable for low volume.

In addition to low-volume assembly, we're now compiling 2 and 4-layer boards for fabrication with a US fab!
