01
Engineering file review
We check the submitted fabrication package for missing layers, unclear notes, and specifications that need confirmation before production.
// PCB FABRICATION
PCB Fabrication for Prototypes and Small Batches
Send your Gerber package and board requirements. Our engineers review manufacturability, confirm the build specification, and keep fabrication aligned with your assembly plan.

// SERVICE OVERVIEW
From Gerber files to assembly-ready boards
PCBAForge supports bare-board fabrication as a standalone service or as the first stage of a complete PCBA build. Your stackup, finish, copper weight, drill size, impedance requirements, quantity, and delivery priorities are reviewed together before the order is confirmed.
02
Prototype-friendly quantities
Start with a small build, confirm the design, and move to a repeat order without changing suppliers.
03
Assembly-aware planning
When assembly is also required, board fabrication and component placement requirements are reviewed as one connected build.
// HOW TO START
A clear handoff for a faster review
Project workflow
Upload Gerber files and fabrication notes
Confirm board specification and any open engineering questions
Fabricate and inspect the bare boards
Ship the boards or release them to PCBA assembly
What to send
- Gerber or ODB++ fabrication package
- Drill files and board outline
- Layer count, material, thickness, copper weight, and surface finish
- Quantity and any controlled-impedance requirements
// COMMON QUESTIONS
PCB FABRICATION FAQ
Can I order bare PCBs without assembly?
Yes. PCB fabrication can be ordered by itself, or combined with SMT, through-hole assembly, and testing.
Can you review controlled-impedance requirements?
Yes. Include the target impedance, tolerance, relevant layer or net information, and any preferred stackup notes so the requirement can be reviewed before quoting.
What happens if my fabrication notes are incomplete?
An engineer will flag missing or conflicting information and ask for confirmation before the build is approved.
