I have a customer who ask close to prototyping jobs with low volume and high-mix components. A regular job have around 5-30 pieces board but have high quantity and many type of components. All the time over 1000 pieces of parts on board from 250-350

One thing to think about is keeping the machine running! the biggest thing I would be looking at or into is availability of spare parts and tech support. Call the equipment manufactures and see if they are still supporting the machines, both with tec
