While the concept seems elegant and ingenious,
you're probably not hearing much from the assemblers
because it would result in such a huge paradigm shift.
Imagine not being able to manufacture a board until
the complete parts kit was assembled. Imagine making
one single part placement error (rotation, wrong p/n)
and not being able to fix it after the fact? Imagine an
engineer requesting a resistor VALUE change. Or
any combination of three dozen of those, which we
deal with every day.
Almost every assembly of ours has a TALL component.
What about that?
And who will make the boards? If a modern fab shop
can incorporate the pick and place and testing, who will
need traditional assemblers? Or at least the traditional
assemblers will need to invest in a huge amount of new
equipment and technical expertise.
but from a design guy like me? a guy who can:
get rid of conformal coating?
solve some vibration issues?
get more routing not needing those big soldering pads?
no solder shorts?
less thermal events?
one-stop shopping?
smaller size and cost?
To a guy like me, it sounds like a brilliant "wave of the future"
kind of thing. Not appropriate for every application, but it could
be a heckuva good thing to have in my toolbox, ya know?
seems like something I woulda thought of myself, (grin)

I just read over the White (Green?) Paper, and find the process very
interesting. I'm by no means an expert on board fabrication and
assembly, so was looking forward to seeing comments from those of you
who have much more knowledge than myself. So, what da ya all think?
