MatruOS for a bare PCB fabrication unit
Set up the way a bare PCB fabrication unit runs: sale of bare PCBs priced per square metre or per panel by layers, finish and lot size; tooling and stencil charges; quick-turn premiums for prototypes; export orders. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.
