Where technology meets reality
Indesnet is considering ordering a few giant PCB panels, v-scoring them and shipping smaller PCBs to people/companies who are interested in having smaller prototype boards made and find a whole production run uneconomical.
We should be able to beat $3/sq. inch, which seems to be somewhere in the going-rate. Smaller designs will be submitted to us, We will panelize the designs and send off to a fabricator in China. Boards will be fabricated on a larger size panel, v-scored and separated, then shipped to individual customers from our offices.
We are located in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario Canada. All shipping would originate here via Canada Post to keep costs as low as possible, giving Canadians a viable solution to PCB prototyping.
Since this is a first time public effort, we are unsure of demand, so If you are interested in a service like this, please leave a comment below. We offer further services in this field, including custom PCB ordering from Chinese fab houses - just let us know what your requirements are and we'll send back a quote ASAP.
