Hi All,
It is exciting that this "manufacturer" has finally provided overseas service.
I have been using JLC since my first PCB design back to 2010 when i was a first year university student, of course, in China.
A quotation marks of manufacturer more or less showing JLC is some different PCB manufacturer from others.
Back in 2010, he was only focus on sampling and small size productions. The way the make PCB is different from traditional PCB manufacturers.
The price was already acceptable to build some stuff for someone like me with very limited living budgets.
The price in that time is: 2 layers, under 5x5 CM, 10 pieces, 100RMB (13USD/ 7GBP) + shipping (22RMB, next day delivery), 3 days for manufacturing.
When i was graduated in 2014: they provided 4 layers 10x10cm PCB with same price (100RMB) as above. And 2 layer cost only 50RMB.
I built a 350mm Quadcopter fully with PCB for my graduate project (attaches).
The structure is consisted by only 3 different 10 x 10 cm PCB pieces, and they costed only 150RMB.
However, the most improvement should be the capabilities instead of the manufacturing time or the cost.
They was only able to build 0.3mm holes, 6mil wire / 6mil clearance, no BGA, no impedance guarantee, 4 layers.
But now they have 0.2mm, 3.5mil/3.5mil, BGA, impedance guarantee, 6 layers, and event SMT
Note: The impedance and SMT are only available to Chinese quoting website. There are less options on English website.
