One way you’ll need to prepare your panelized boards for manufacturing, separation, and assembly is to place fiducial markers on your panelized PCBs and one the PCBs themselves. Your goal should be to arrange the maximum number of possible boards on a single panel while still satisfying tooling constraints. Running a single panel through assembly and separation machines represents a more or less fixed cost, and fabricators usually quote PCB prices on a per-panel basis. Think of it as building copies of your board on one large PCB substrate. Panelization is a process of arranging multiple boards in an array on a single panel with a standard size.
Preparing for Manufacturing with Panelization Instead of using an external CAD program for panelization or just using a default rectangular arrangement, a great CAD package that is specialized for PCB manufacturing can help you get the most out of each panel. If you have the right PCB design software, panelization becomes a relatively simple process that decreases your cost per board. One way to improve productivity in a PCB manufacturing process is to use the proper panelization scheme.
When you’re bringing a new product to market, why pay more for your order than you need to? Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the focus has been producing more widgets per man hour, and PCBs are no different. If you work in manufacturing or you plan to produce a new product, productivity is the name of the game.
