PCB Fabrication
From a single sample to volume production, on proven lines
We fabricate PCBs from your Gerber data. From quick-turn prototype runs to production quantities, we match your specs and schedule to the right manufacturing line, inspect incoming boards, and deliver.
- Quick-turn samples and volume production
- FR-4 multilayer, metal-core PCB and more
- Gerber review before ordering — catch issues early
- Can be bundled with SMT assembly
- Quotes tailored to schedule, quantity and spec
Fabrication specifications
Options available in the quote tool. Anything not listed can be noted in a request and quoted individually.
| Item | Default | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Layers | 2 | 1 · 4 · 6 · 8 and above on request |
| Material | FR-4 (TG135) | High-TG FR-4 · aluminum (metal core) · flex on request |
| Thickness | 1.6 mm | 0.6 · 0.8 · 1.0 · 1.2 · 2.0 mm |
| Copper | 1 oz | 2 oz (power boards) |
| Surface finish | HASL | Lead-free HASL · ENIG · OSP |
| Solder mask · silkscreen | Green · white | Red · blue · black · white · yellow |
| Outline | Rectangular | Custom outline · V-cut · tab routing · panelization |
| Other | — | Controlled impedance · gold fingers · countersink · edge plating |
Detailed rules such as minimum trace/space and minimum hole are checked during our Gerber review; if something needs to change we tell you how first.
Choosing a surface finish
Four finishes are available in the quote tool; price and lead time recalculate as soon as you pick one.
- HASL (leaded)
- The most common finish. Suits through-hole parts and general SMD boards.
- Lead-free HASL
- Lead-free solder finish for products that need RoHS compliance.
- ENIG (gold)
- Flat pads that suit fine pitch and BGA, with good solderability after long storage. Costs extra, and the fastest build option is not available.
- OSP
- A thin organic coating over bare copper, lead-free. Pads are flat and there is no extra cost. The coating weakens over time, so we recommend soldering within a few months of delivery. Also used for solder-practice boards that leave copper bare with no solder mask.
How we quote
- Estimates are calculated from live fabrication prices for the specification and quantity you choose. The final price comes as a formal quote after our Gerber review.
- Each board design includes Gerber review and a pre-shipment check. The more pieces of one design, the lower the price per board.
- For hardware prototypes we propose a dedicated PCB rather than perfboard wiring. Even in small quantities the cost difference is small, and the board reproduces exactly next time.
- When assembly is included, component prices may change with exchange rates and stock at the time of purchase; if they do, we re-quote.
How it proceeds
- 1Upload Gerber
Drop a Gerber ZIP into the quote tool; it reads size and layer count and shows price and lead time per specification.
- 2Confirm spec and quantity
Choose thickness, finish, color and quantity; the price recalculates on the spot.
- 3Gerber review and payment guide
After intake we review the Gerber: missing layers, drill files, outline, silkscreen overlap — caught before fabrication.
- 4Fabricate, inspect, ship
After fabrication we check appearance and dimensions, pack in ESD bags and ship. Tracking is sent by email.
Quantity and lead time
- Samples
- From 5 pieces of one design. The most common order for design verification.
- Small batch
- 10–100 pieces. Prototype distribution, first deliveries.
- Production
- 100 and above. Panel design and per-quantity pricing proposed separately.
- Lead time
- Shown in business days by the quote tool per specification and quantity. For urgent orders, note it in the request and we offer the fastest available schedule.
Worth checking before ordering
- Gerber layer count matches the design (number of copper files)
- Drill file included and units (mm/inch) correct
- Outline layer is a closed contour
- Solder mask openings and silkscreen overlap
- Stackup specification attached if impedance control is needed
Upload your Gerber
Price and lead time per specification appear immediately. No cost before confirmation.
Frequently asked
I only have Altium or KiCad files, no Gerber.
We generate the Gerber from your design files and deliver it along with the boards.
Can I order just one board?
The minimum is 5 pieces of one design. The 5-piece sample price is close to what a single board would cost.
How are impedance boards handled?
Send a stackup specification, or we propose the layer structure and trace widths before fabrication.
Can assembly be included?
Turn on SMT in the quote tool and both are received in one order. A BOM and placement file are required.
What if the Gerber has a problem?
We review before ordering and tell you the issue and the fix first. Nothing goes to fabrication unconfirmed.
