Why is PCB Depaneling Necessary? PCBs are typically manufactured in large panels containing multiple copies of the same board design. This approach offers several advantages: Cost-effectiveness: Producing multiple boards on a single panel reduces material waste and optimizes the use of manufacturing equipment, resulting in lower production costs. Efficiency: Handling a single large panel rather…
