[QUOTE="PoroCYon, post: 10318005, member: 587980"] The amount of FR4/bulk material of the PCB is hardly a factor in the cost though. How things are fabricated is a much stronger factor. Most PCBs are 1.6mm thick, most manufacturing equipment is designed to handle this thickness. PCB fab houses that make prototypes for many people can thus combine many of these prototypes in a single huge board (which is later cut apart). Of course, all these designs must have the same thickness, or they can't be used on the same board. This makes ordering 1.6mm boards at these prototype services much cheaper than any other thickness, because it can be combined more easily. Furthermore, thinner PCBs also pose other sorts of problems: they're more fragile, which means machinery must be able to handle this (instead of accidentally snapping the boards in two). During automated assembly, a 0.4mm/0.6mm thick PCB will actually start acting like a trampoline instead of a rigid board, so extra stabilizing things will have to be added, if you don't want the components to start jumping off. All these things end up making thin PCBs much more expensive than standard-thickness ones. [/QUOTE]
