PCB Production

I have just heard from the PCB company. The PCB’s for our first product are built, and are about to be shipped. This means that it is about time to do some shopping. The first batch of PCB’s ended up costing US$15.16 for 10 master boards. Each board will be cut to give us five smaller boards. This means that we are getting 50 boards for the bargain basement price of US$0.31 each, including postage. The ultimate product will be more expensive than this, but it is items like this that allow us to engineer cost savings into the product and will allow us to offer it to our customers at the cheapest possible price.
