Board Design and Layout

We offer a complete PC Board design service from schematic capture to board layout. Provide us with a hand-drawn sketch, marked-up print or CAD file and we will design your layout and deliver production outputs ready for fabrication and assembly. PCB project file includes library parts, net names, list of materials, and drawings prints.

We Layout Boards with "True DFM" in Mind

We understand board manufacturing processes, steps, and limitations, which enables us to create your layout with what we call, True DFM in Mind- Routing trace widths at 6 mils and shinnying down to .004″ only when needed. Running Via hole diameters at .008 & .010 to stay within mechanical drilling capabilities and keep out of the micro-via class to avoid laser drilling. This methodology of design practice can greatly reduce the manufacturing costs come time for fabricate your circuit board.

We can clean up any revised or marked-up existing schematics and help with partially completed layouts. If you choose us as your board designer, we will work one-on-one with your engineers to work through the schematic and bill of materials to complete the layout and prepare for manufacturing and assembly.
