Our entire country's ๐ฎ๐ณ production of bare pcb is equivalent of jlc capacity.
If you take only multilayer, than its worse than this.
Jlc is not even in the top 50 in ๐จ๐ณ.
Let that sink in...
China was closed for 15days last month, we were overbooked by 3-4x and we couldn't get the machines for the bottleneck process on time.
Raw materials, capital goods everything has to come from ๐จ๐ณ and it takes time.
Factory in china can get these machines in 7 days to expand, we need to wait atleast 45-60 days.
What you see as an outcome is delays! Because most of the people serach for ๐ฎ๐ณ fab during Chinese New Year and Chinese equivalent of dushera season. Most of the fabs in India run overcapacity during this time.
We have grown by more than 3x this year and we remain focused on solving problems that we have,(delay being the major one)
We have also made great progress on our new 10x larger new plant and hope we handle the next season better.
Thanks for your support and patience. Always grateful ๐
I know the pain. We remain focused on solving this problem.
We have recently launched-
1. 24 hours PCB service online- it's expensive and we target to keep reducing the price on this in coming months. But if someone needs a PCB fast, you can get it done in bangalore for the lowest 24 hour service price in ๐ฎ๐ณ.
2. There is a 48 hours service too with reduced prices.
3. Our standard 2L is 4-5days currently only green mask - will open up this service for black and blue soldermask as well. This is the lowest price for lead time in India.
4. We are reducing the leadtime of 4L standard services to 5-6 days from current 12-14 days for the same price. 6L will follow soon.(This month)
PCBA - we are overcapacity on this right now and working hard to expand the capacity by March end/April and will launch disruptive services.
Components- we are rapidly expanding our India warehouse and most of the parts will be available for next day delivery with extremely competitive pricing.
Few companies in China are state sponsored and hence extremely difficult to achieve that price. However, we will work hard to get the pricing competitive with timelines and quality.
Support Indian manufacturers, not just us, everyone is getting better. This needs an ecosystem to solve faster.
Thanks for supporting us ๐
Hey Scott, this was an amazing video, best in my opinion. The fact that both of you had great knowledge of the physics made the conversation extremely interesting. You were asking questions such that the conversation was progressively forward and not taking a tangent. As an engineer this made me feel more excited about being one.
These are the first drogue parachutes built entirely in-house by SpaceX. Tested earlier this year, they include key data-driven upgrades such as stronger joints and ribbons and a re-positioned pack for smoother deployment and inflation
