[10:08:28] <Tsvetan> KREYREN the aluminum PCBs are used only for LED lamps, they have almost no use elsewhere
[10:09:25] <Tsvetan> aluminum metal is at least x3 times more expensive than fieber glass laminate
[15:04:40] <KREYREN> Tsvetan: You have wrong information about it.. it's preferred to be used with an LED lamps, because the aluminium is basically a huge passive cooler for them, but you can use them for almost anything just the engineering gets exponentially more difficult the more layers you add and it's not economically sustainable beyond 2 layers so they are just used in the military instead.
[15:04:40] <KREYREN> Quote for 5 10x36mm PCBs for the power button used in Teres-1 is in general -20% production cost on aluminium which can be taken down significantly more if you provide your own aluminium for me that's -46% cost which is significant
