i have no clue what i just read. an SMT assembly line easily costs 500K. for 10K you can just buy some lab tools for prototyping.

Building your own assembly line is not a 500k$ problem. You’re referring to a splice-overlay method, which takes 200 machines, and that’s not even a very efficient method.

Do it by hand, that’s the most expensive it should be. Then improve efficiency one-part at a time.
