Scotty Allen tours a JLCPCB factory in China to show the step-by-step manufacturing process of printed circuit boards.
You can watch this without ads on my streaming platform, Nebula! nebula.tv/videos/strange-parts-inside-a-huge-pcb-factory-in-… Today we're visiting JLCPCB (jlcpcb.com/e), one of the largest prototype PCB manufacturers in China. We're getting an exclusive factory tour of one of their newest printed circuit board factories in Huizhou, just outside of Shenzhen, to see the PCB manufacturing process step-by-step. Are you an electronics geek or a DIY enthusiast that loves soldering projects that's always wondered how to make that PCB? Today we're going to see how it's made! Thanks to JLCPCB for sponsoring this video!

This is very interesting: link to this video It's a tour of JLCPCB's factory, where they go through all the PCB manufacturing steps. (They just cover the PBC itself, not the assembly service.)

Here's a step-by-step video about how JLCPCB makes PCB's. The link goes directly to that step at 21:09: link to this video It looks like in this case they are using a CNC router to make the cuts, and a vacuum table to keep the PCB's in place (it's a table with a grid of tiny holes that has vacuum inside to suck the PCB's onto the table).

You might as well watch the entire process of how JLCPCB works and then tell me if all of that can be "automated": link to this video

On “Jeep wrangler owners waiting for answers week after an update bricked their cars”
Who in Japan is good at this? I can only imagine the R&D division at maybe Playstation and thats it. China has so many people that EE and CS are a dime a dozen, thats why they have a competitive market thats low cost. People are in a jungle trying to survive. 0: link to this video The video is (Supposedly) EEs doing customer support roles thus allowing Cheap PCB for hobbyists, the equivalent in the US does not exist. Side Note: I hear this is also why SASS never really took off in China. Why pay someone else for software when you can get a dozen people to make your own cheaper.

Yeah I didn't say that Chinese people didn't want to go down the same route, infact lifestyle influencers have a better shot there (probably 0.1% better). There is so much overproduction of engineers that you are possibly working a customer support role with that degree. Another reason SASS supposedly never took off there, why pay some company when you can just hire from the batch of overproduced STEM graduates and make any software you need. When I can have an experienced engineer correct my garbage designs for free as part of a manufacturing service you know I am benefiting off of a lucky circumstance that will go away one day: link to this video
