PCB replication

Question

Hello everyone!

I have done a layout of a small PCB. Now for a automatic assembly I need to replicate it (put 12 same small PCBs on one big PCB). What is the best way to achieve this in circuit studio?

Thank you!

Hi Dmitry,

What you are talking about is panelization. I'm not a CS user so can't advise on how to do it there or even if there is such a tool built in, but a lot of board vendors will do panelization for you if you specify it and they'll work out how the design fits most optimally on whatever size panel they are using to maximize utilization of the panel for the cheapest board cost.

Best Regards,

Rachael

For those who interested in same topic, you can read a thread below:
Panelization is CircuitStudio
The right answer is that there is no penalization tool in Circuit Studio

Not so fast....

I've got a video on how to do it, head over to the eevblog forum to download a PCB file you'll need.
