Panelization
Panelization is the process of placing one or more Printed Circuit Boards (PCB’s) on a manufacturing panel and incorporating features to assist manufacturing (such as tooling holes, fiducials, coupons, resin vents, panel thieving, etc.). This is one of the highest impact factors in the cost of a PCB.
The useable area is measured as a percentage (total area for PCB’s divided by the total panel area). PCB’s are arranged in the useable area. Any area outside the useable area is designated for tooling to optimize manufacturing. A target panel utilization of greater than 75% is considered cost effective material utilization.
