Reading time ( words)

ExpressPCB has announced the inclusion of Gerber Conversions in conjunction with customer board orders.

ExpressPCB provides engineers, hobbyists, and makers a one stop solution by combining PCB schematic and layout software, manufacturing, and other services for their customers.

“Our customers have asked for more affordable options for receiving Gerber files, and we listened.  Now all the files necessary for manufacturing are provided to customers when board orders are completed, at no additional cost,” said Michael Hebda, ExpressPCB product manager

At ExpressPCB, we understand our user’s needs for flexibility and transparency in an ever changing design world. Our manufacturing services are geared to provide an affordable, high quality PCB option for engineers, and we feel this change allows flexibility to address the specialized requirements many projects need. 

ExpressPCB has worked hard over the years to streamline processes to be as efficient as possible. This allows ExpressPCB to pass savings to their customers, supporting their mission to help Design Engineers quickly bring their ideas to life with their free CAD software and the lowest manufacturing cost possible. Time is money, so waiting weeks just to get prototype PCBs onto the test bench can have a huge impact on a project.

There’s designing the “perfect” circuit board and then there’s designing a board that is “perfect for manufacturing.” While seasoned designers and design engineers understand many of the nuances, PCB fabricator Sunstone Circuits has just published a new book specifically for new designers who have the knowledge of design but are still learning what it means to get the board manufactured. Sunstone’s Matt Stevenson takes the reader through a series of situations that should help clarify what’s happening in the fabrication process and how to adjust a board design to be better suited for manufacturing.

What is design with manufacturing and what does true DWM look like in operation? In this interview, I-Connect007 columnist Dana Korf explains what it will take to achieve total communication among all the stakeholders in the PCB development cycle. He also stresses the need for everyone involved in PCB design and manufacturing to stop making assumptions, even at the risk of being labeled as “that guy” who asks too many questions.

As mentioned in the May issue of Design007 Magazine, design is performed, at times, in a vacuum. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Whenever circumstances allow, design should be performed by communicating with all stakeholders throughout the design process, hence the emphasis on the word with in DWM. Communication can occur through personal correspondence such as email and voice conversations or through more formal design meetings—in person or through videoconferencing. No matter which means of communication you prefer, it’s important to communicate early and often with stakeholders involved in the downstream processes as you bring your project to realization.
