The checks built in, what you take away, and what we need to start.

Full quality process

Checks built in

Every one leaves a record.

  • Built around the real PCB
  • Tolerance stack-ups
  • DFM before printing
  • FEA on load points
  • Fit check with real parts
  • Drop and button tests
  • Ingress checks
  • Critical dimensions on drawings

You get

Yours in full.

  • CAD and STEP files
  • 2D drawings
  • CMF spec
  • Prototypes and models
  • Test results
  • Assembly guide

We need

Whatever you have.

  • PCB 3D model
  • How it's used or mounted
  • Environment and IP rating
  • Volume and target cost
  • Brand references

Quick answers

Which CAD software do you use?

SolidWorks and Fusion 360 mostly. You get native files and STEP.

Can you start from my sketch or old CAD?

Yes — a sketch, STEP, IGES or native files, plus the PCB model.

Who owns the CAD?

You do.

Tell us where your project is

Sketch, prototype or finished design. We'll tell you which steps it needs, and the cost.
