CircuitHub has unveiled The Grid, a factory-scale robotic system in Massachusetts that builds printed circuit boards on demand.
The claim: PCBs made in America, twice as fast as Shenzhen, with no changeovers and no per-design setup — prototypes and production batches run fully automated. It's a notable attempt to rebuild domestic electronics manufacturing capacity in the US.
