THE BOTTLENECK
Getting a real board shouldn't take weeks.
You finish a design, zip the Gerbers, and send them into the void. Days pass. A fab makes the bare board. A different shop sources parts and assembles. A third step — if it happens at all — tests it. Each handoff adds a queue, a shipping label, and a chance to ship the wrong thing.
By the time the board lands on your bench, you've forgotten the bug you were chasing. Reflection Labs collapses all three steps into one machine that runs on its own — so iteration happens in hours, in the room you're already standing in.
