From idea to a board that works in the field
Parts that stay in stock, a clean layout and real-world testing. You approve every key decision.
Typical timeline
1–4 weeks of design
Simple boards: days. Radio boards: 3–4 weeks. Build: +1–3 weeks.

Quick answers
How many layers will my board need?
As few as possible. Radios, USB and switching power usually need 4+.
What if a part goes out of stock?
Alternates are on the BOM from day one. You hear the same day.
Can you fix someone else's design?
Yes. We review it and tell you: fix it or re-layout.
Tell us where your project is
Sketch, prototype or finished design. We'll tell you which steps it needs, and the cost.
