"Ok hear me out @elonmusk I read claims that Starlink manufacturing is the largest PCB manufacturer in the USA in order to meet demand for dishes. Many in my circle of PCB dudes would really like to see more USA options for buying affording PCBs since the only low-cost options available are from China. I'm sure you can appreciate that USA government contracts does not allow using foreign vendors as well as anybody who just doesn't want to buy things from China. The best way I see possible for the USA to have affordable low-cost home-grown PCB manufacturing is to have lots of scale. Since"

"Multiple answers to this question: X. US based manufacturers are sometimes constrained by contract to build in the US and there are a lot of them. X. Improving efficiency of such markets would greatly value Military Space Patriotic industry focused businesses. X. Competition is always good. Just because one company has the best price is not a reason to abandon competing with them monopolies disrupt innovation innovate to take down monopolies IMO. Rant terminated"

"This needs to be tested for large volume. In general fabrication accuracy tolerance becomes harder with larger panels. And large boards or high volume would want large panel fabrication for scale. Small volume is not representative as at least X mil clearance for reg is good"

"@BackwoodsEnginr Using kicad for a home project but it would be nice to push the limits of it for big and complex boards some day. It is crashing on me more than I like which is a concern. But in general it is pretty good tool for what it is"

"@BackwoodsEnginr SpaceX uses the same tool I do. Siemens Xpedition. Which has the best routing technology on the market. Might apply there some day. Their objectives align with what I want my impact on the world to be. I would like to acquire a personal license so I can share it with community"

"@therealcarlin @raheelys The dynamic environment of schematic tool and layout tool combined is powerful and nobody does the UI better in this regard for convenience of project file access. But my experience with the routing in altium is aweful and Xpedition does it well"

"@raheelys My favorite arc of crapping on xpedition is all about their new UI. Heard how they wanted to make things "better" because altium had such a good interface. The new interface is dog shit. I am not saying the old one was great it wasn't. But this did not make things better"

"Unfortunate how bad the UI is in Siemens Xpedition. Problem is it also has immensely power routing capabilities that are worth putting up with the bad UI. If you work on big PCBs high layer counts advanced stack-ups impedance timing dependent requirements. Xpedition wins"
