Am not aware of any resource which would accomodate your request, however we build contract boards for a number of communications mfgs. and use SMT in most of the applications with no problems. Have never had any functional issues brought to our atte

Should I manufacture my own boards or outsource them? Any opinions are welcome. I own a company and sell electronic products. Some products we sell have specific ad-on circuit boards which I have designed and had manufactured just for my company. The

On the outside looking in the cost of manufacturing your board assemblies may look high. I will tell you that it is probably a good price. There are allot of hidden costs in manufacturing and yes equipment right now is cheap but try buying parts chee

Cool! A 3 year plus thread! Well, to answer your question, don't build it yourself. Manufacturing is completely different from engineering. I could spend the next 3 yeras explaining why you shouldn't, but it appears this has already happened. An

I don't know what type of boards you are doing but if they are through hole or surface mount. You can get a whole line of used equiptment for pennys these days. I am sure that I could send you a quote for a complete line. The price of used equiptment
