What is cut-out in pcb?

A cut-out in a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) refers to an area where material has been removed from the board, creating an opening or recess. This can be done for various reasons, such as to accommodate components, reduce weight, or facilitate airflow. Cut-outs can also help in aligning the PCB with other components in an assembly or improving manufacturability. They are typically defined during the design phase using CAD software.
