The Factory | Design A Product With Us Part 5: Power Experiments & Panelisation

We're talking about design verification and panelising for production this week in The Factory. Last episode we assembled and tested some prototypes - this time around we're running some power experiments, upgrading the design and panelising for production. PCBs are rarely assembled as single units - rather a larger panel is assembled to make use of batch efficiency and to improve handling. See how we panelise a PCB design using the wonderful KiCad plugin: KiKit.
