Is it better to have round corners on a PCB?

When I visit the PCB showroom in factory, I find that there are some pcs with round corners. Is it better to have round corners on a PCB?

Consider whether it is necessary to make round corners to fit in your product shells.
If you want to pay for them. You can have any shape you like, at a similar price.

In het algemeen, PCBs are made by a big sheet of fiberglass, followed by line scoring. When they come to assembly line, they will be broken up along the scored lines which are generally straight lines.

If you want rounded corners, or some other shape, the PCBs have to go to an extra process on another machine. Dus, it required extra cost.

Can we do wave solder the through hole parts without masking it?

We would like to do wave soldering for the through hole components. All through hole components are top side of PCB. Only test points, which require mask during process, are on the bottom side. So there is a extra labour cost at adding and removing the mask. Can we do wave solder the through hole parts without masking it?

What are some of the benefits and downsides of moving from a two layer PCB with components on a single side, to a four layer PCB with components on both sides?

We got a quotation sheet of four layers board but it greatly exceed our budget. So now we are thinking about reduce layers to save cost. Does this solution work?
