PCB engineering notes from the factory floor
Practical guidance on materials, stack-ups, tolerances and assembly data, written by the engineers who review your files. No marketing filler, just the parameters that decide whether a board builds well.
Laminate, copper weight and surface finish choices, and what each one changes in cost and performance.
What this knowledge centre covers
Manufacturing Process
How boards are actually made: drilling, plating, lamination, etching, testing and the checks in between.
Materials & Selection
Laminate, copper weight and surface finish choices, and what each one changes in cost and performance.
Design & DFM
Stack-up, impedance, HDI and rigid-flex design rules that reduce engineering queries and field failures.
PCB Assembly
Preparing data for turnkey assembly: BOM structure, pick-and-place files, stencils and test.
Have a specification you want reviewed?
Send your Gerber, stack-up or BOM and an engineer will check it against our capability limits before you commit to a build.
