34 people watching this video have probably never made a DIY circuit board. Watching this video make the process look really easy but it takes a lot of technology to make these kind of boards. Thank you for this informative film.

You just helped a California, Computer Engineering Freshman pass a test.... GREAT VIDEO!!!

Having etched p.c.b's for though hole components . I recognise this is an entirely different ball game . I have often wondered how multilayer boards are made . This has provided a good insight

Extremely instructive video, definitely a bonus when having to decide who is best placed to actually build your design. Thanks.

Fantastic video, as a trainee electronics engineer this has given me better knowledge of how the PCBs work.

This was a very instructive video...thanks! Everybody who designs a circuit board should watch this.

Great video. I've been trying to make simpler PCBs at home with minimal success and, seeing how difficult it was, wondered what went into the real modern process. Great job presenting that. Well paced and very interesting.

This is way better than How it's made

I recognised a Circuit Automation DP1500 at Soldermask. I used these, amongst other machines in Prestwick Circuits at Irvine in Scotland. However we wore surgical gloves to keep fingerprints off of the uncovered copper.

very interesting video! A must for every pcb designer!

This is a great video, very informative and detailed. I have been looking around for reputable PCB manufacturers catering for the needs of small to medium production volumes and EURO circuits is top-of-class. Thank you.

man no wonder PCBs are so expensive. i had no idea it was such a hands on process.

Great video !!! I'll try this out tomorrow...thanks for the upload.

This is a great video. Thanks for putting this together and posting it.

Very good looking to the manufacture process, most engineers & designers just limit to design the PCB on the EDA tool and lave it to manufacture.

Somebody who can pronounce "Aachen" correctly. Thumbs up ;)

A wonderful presentation, quite labor involved as seen!

The narrator is obviously a hired voice-over artist with no electronics knowledge, as he refers to "leaded components" as if they were made of the *metal* lead, and not "leaded" as in "with a lead", pronounced "My dog is leaded on his lead"

Instruction was perfect!

0:37 He's living the dream.

Very nice. Could be more exhaustive upon certain procedures which are new to most people, such as how the layers stick and match together and how connections are made between layers, by providing still or animated pictures.

This video is amazing! I enjoyed the process.

Beautiful

Thumbs up for Ian Sanderson!!! Woot Woot EDCM

Also the Soldermask ink (Carapace or Taiyo) was hazardous, and best to avoid contact with skin.

Surprisingly elaborate process. Maybe laser cutting and directed vapor deposition could make for a better process.

Now I understand why are multi-layer PCBs so expensive.

Thank you for this video. Very educational. :)

very nice vedio, I am a beginner of PCB, beinfit a lot from it, need to review it again and again.

The silent parts are a little distracting, but the video is very good!

Very interesting, thanks for making this.

it is amazing ,as a chinese student,i hope that day which is we can equal usa in the field.

This is for people WHO Ask me why a pcb is so expensive..there it is the answer..! It is a well controled process under a great infrastructure n a good quality system and that means money..moneey..it is not just like a small home shop..! This is for the pros..!

Ich ziehe meinen Hut, das ist einfach großartig.

Excellent presentation

unbelievable process :)

Outstanding video!

Very interesting, thanks!

Thanks for uploading the video. Nice one clear explanation

Thank You so much for your video

very good

Excellent

amazing factory o.o

"Lead is outlawed because of environmental concerns, so we use the far more toxic nickel!" Way to go Europe...

very interesting process

So this is was interesting. They keep saying economical, for students, universities etc. but never give a price for a any project. Please define cost effective. Do they do simple 2 layer or one layer boards? What about for the USA, do they ship to the US? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Great work, although you need a better sound editor :(

very interesting video, but maybee need some drawings or animations to detail some processes

It looks like a painfully manual process. I wonder how much automation is in newer production lines.

Hmm, no mention of membranes, those nasty spongy switch surfaces. Maybe they don't do them because they hate them too.

Half-a-way old Machines Using Photo-films to exposure. Nowdays Lasers and CCDs are used to do such. Then, Gold Edge Connectors, Using Lamination process and exposure those panels with different dry film resist, where as hardening all copper spots except connectors.

Hmm... At the beginning I was suspecting to see two double sided boards simply being bonded together with a separation layer in between. Not the process of an entire new layer being formed on both sides of the double sided board.

Trade secrets fully explained...

Osm work need more videos

beau film

Thanks, I've seen several references to "hard gold plating" and just "Gold Plating," and had no clue what the difference is. Now I finally understand the difference. Is there a similar process difference/application for some kind of electroless silver plating versus a hard silver electrode-based plating?

Really great video :) looks like a lot of work and a lot of steps.. If any of these go wrong, you need to throw away the board?

A lot of effort to produce boards

very good commercial

I realize this video is a bit dated, however the process is still mostly up to date. I have a question: for a 4-in x 6 pcb, it would cost me around 60 euros?? Do you offer price matching? A competitor has produced 5 pcb's with shipping for less than $35.00 US.

I am wondering the board that was showed in this video, how much does it cost to have it made? is it just for large quantities or can a normal home brew person afford to have a board made?

marvellous...

I LIKE THIS

can i order pcbs made using diptrace?..it has gerber outout data

Are you able to do milling before plating so one gets an edge plated PCBs ( really nice for RF ) ?

Yo check out that unshielded incidental UV frying the operator's retinas @17:00

I have a ball chair like that too!!!

same process.... Drill the inner layer including blind vias and thruhole plating before laminating the outer layer.

very informative video, but this looked like "small productions/batches" how does this process compare to say running 1.000.000 motherboards would that be the exact same steps or do they do something "easier" due to the massive volume? since this way seems "very slow" if you need a large volume of PCB's

AMAZING

"on its way to HIM to be assembled into HIS finished product"

amazinf factory, i wonder the use that circuit boards , some knows ?o.o

Is there any internship opportunities?

Wow!!!

Ooops, error at 18:18 when he says carbon (not copper) layer already deposited there!

What's the difference between Gerber and extended Gerber

Nice video. How many sq inch of 2 layers pcb can you make per day?

For the purposes of citing this video, who was the author or main contributors?

Well presented, but it's a bit pricey.

nice :)

Is that Prof Jim Al-Khalili narrating.

MORE THAN 50 LAYERS!!!!! 🤯

Hmm I really don't think I oculd make these cause I don't have these machines, the video could be called How 4 layer PCB are made

without blind holes?

Can't figure 100micron bits not breaking after 20 holes! How many use LASER drills?

it's totaly old manufacturing methods. now only 5 min to get finished 4 layer pcb.

Not really clear how it makes blind vias.

a bit boring... you could have speed up the explanation.. how come jlcpcb can explain you the all processes in 10 minutes? btw really great voice anyway and was interesting

youtube alargest programme in the world.

Were good

How can I do this at home? I need clarity on what the purpose of the different layers.

please tell me 6.32-6.48, how to clean?....Na0H, or acide?

Wow there must be high levels of F.O.D on these panels..

Just fyi, non-males can also be electrical engineers, lol :D

So much manual labour...

00:46 wow that guy works slow

What about NPTH?

Seed the walls with... PALLADIUM?

which gerber viewer/editor was used?
