This is the process
through which specialized or small scale operations save money on their Printed
Circuit Boards and the costs of the prototypes by the sharing of tools,
fabrication panel space and machine set-ups.
The use of CAD software and CAM software in Printed Circuit Board manufacturing
has facilitated massive file transfers and high levels of standardization hence
the growth of PCB pooling. This has become the natural ways of saving the cost
and reduction of prototype prices at competitive rates.
As an example, if
Company X requires 4*3.1 boards and Company Y requires 7.6*8.1 boards, fitting
each board on different (18*24) PCB fabrication panels
would be a waste of manufacturing space. A single fabrication board is
sufficient and this is Printed Circuit Board Pooling.
