Now that we've realized about Panelizing, plunge further and get to know the various kinds of how to Panelize Multilayer PCB!
PCB Panelization Series
This post is a piece of a series about PCB panelization:

Sorts of PCB Panelization
Assuming that you are fostering an item that contains gadgets on a PCB, an assembling method called panelization will probably be vital to advance as your item moves towards creation at scale.
Panelizing PCBs includes associating various sheets together with the goal that they can be produced at the same time. The sheets are associated in manners that permit the individual PCBs to be effortlessly isolated after they are fabricated and collected.
These are PCB business cards that were produced in a 2x2 board
Panelizing PCBs is invaluable on the grounds that it permits different PCBs to be collected without a moment's delay, which diminishes the per-part cost of gathering. Furthermore, at times, for instance, assuming your load up is little, panelization might be expected to wind up with a load up size that is upheld by your PCB producer.
These slender PCBs were submitted into a board in request to make the whole board sufficiently huge to produce
In this article, the second in the series, we’ll take a gander at the two principal kinds of PCB panelization, investigating how they work, and when each type would work best.
Sorts of Panelization
There are two fundamental sorts of PCB panelization: V-groove panelization and tab-course panelization. These two techniques combine PCBs in various ways and you could pick one over the other in view of the plan of your PCB.

V-groove Panelization
In V-groove panelization, a three-sided saw is utilized to cut around 33% of the way through the two sides of the board. This leaves a slender segment of FR4 keeping the individual PCBs intact so they can be isolated with straightforward devices.
Seen intently from the finish of the board, you can see where a V-groove saw has sliced somewhat through the PCB from each side
Since a saw is utilized, V-groove panelization must be utilized in plans with straight lines isolating the PCBs. The V-groove cuts should likewise stretch out from one edge of the board to the next.
V-groove panelization can't be utilized in the event that there are parts overhanging the edge of the board, on the grounds that the saw could hit these overhanging parts which would clearly be something terrible.
