Edge-mounted vias… or how is this called? And can PCBs services manufacture it?
$begingroup$
I have a super basic PCB design here that I'd like to have produced as prototypes:
As you can see, the through-holes (vias) are at the border of the inner cutout. I imagine a manufacturer first prints the board and then cuts it, so that will be no problem to produce - correct (rendering is wrong of course, as vias are not cut)?
And how does one call such border/edge-mounted, cut-in-half vias?
Thanks!

They are called "castellations", from their similarity to the battlements of castles.
An example explanation from seeedstudio.
