Unveiling The Grid: PCBs made in America, twice as fast as Shenzhen

A Massachusetts-based factory robot called The Grid manufactures printed circuit boards on-demand with high flexibility, enabling domestic production of low-volume, mixed designs without costly setup times. Compared to traditional Shenzhen quick-turn shops, The Grid delivers boards in 4 days for $630 versus 9 days for $465, offering faster turnaround that justifies the premium for most hardware teams. The system has been operating commercially for five years and already produces tens of millions of dollars of electronics annually, serving major companies including EV makers and tech firms.
