PCB Development Process

Step 1

PCB Design

01

Schematic Design

Schematic Design

Our engineering team will carefully draw detailed CAD schematics based on your requirements, including all electronic component symbols and pad patterns, to ensure proper circuit connections. Then, we will review these schematics to verify the accuracy of layout constraints and data, ensuring that they can be correctly synchronized with the PCB layout database. Finally, we will format the schematics according to your document requirements and provide a traceable document that records all subsequent changes and revision history.

02

PCB Layout and Routing

PCB Layout and Routing

PCB layout and routing are key steps in turning the schematic into a physical circuit board. First, our engineering team will perform the component layout and arrange the electronic components on the circuit board to optimize space utilization and signal integrity. Next, we route the connections according to the schematic, ensuring signal paths meet design requirements and avoid interference and signal loss. Finally, we use design rule checking (DRC) to verify whether the routing meets the design specifications and manufacturing standards to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the design.

03

Mechanical Design

PCB Layout and Routing

The mechanical design phase involves the design of the PCB shell and its integration with the overall equipment. Our mechanical engineering team designs shells, brackets, and other parts that fit the PCB. Through 3D modeling and simulation, we ensure that the design not only meets functional requirements but also optimizes heat dissipation, improves structural strength, and ensures compatibility with other components.

04

PCB Layout and Routing

Comprehensive Design Evaluation

After the PCB design is completed, we need to conduct a series of key evaluations to ensure the quality and manufacturability. First, we review the Bill of Materials (BOM) to verify that all parts match the design and that component pricing and availability meet requirements. Next, the Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review focuses on whether the component layout and routing are suitable for manufacturing processes, ensuring smooth assembly. Then, We perform a Design for Testability (DFT) review to verify the board’s testability, including built-in test points, test fixtures, and software to ensure correct assembly. Finally, the usability review checks for problems that may cause operational difficulties, such as unclear silkscreen markings or improper component placement. All problems found and suggestions will be reported to the customer to optimize the final design and improve production and use efficiency.

05

Old Design Reverse Engineering

PCB Layout and Routing

Step 2

PCB Manufacturing

01

Manufacturing Documentation Preparation

Manufacturing Documentation Preparation

During the manufacturing documentation preparation phase, we organize and format all design files needed for production. This includes generating detailed Gerber files, drill and pad layout files, schematics, assembly drawings, Bills of Materials (BOM), etc. Our team ensures that all files are accurate and meet manufacturing standards and specifications to support a smooth production process.

02

Rapid PCB Prototyping

Rapid PCB Prototyping

We provide rapid PCB prototyping services to verify and test design concepts in a short period of time. After completing the PCB design and circuit diagram, our engineers immediately conduct a detailed review of the Gerber files to ensure that their data is accurate and meets manufacturing standards. Once approved, we will quickly generate PCB prototypes through steps such as etching, drilling and lamination.

03

PCB Manufacturing and Assembly

PCB Manufacturing and Assembly

In the PCB manufacturing and assembly phase, we use advanced production technology and equipment to turn design files into actual circuit boards. Our process ranges from detailed review of design documents, PCB production (including pattern transfer, etching, drilling and lamination) to component mounting, soldering and final electrical testing. Through these precise steps, we ensure that each PCB is of high quality and reliability and meets strict performance and functional requirements.

04

Box Builds, Cable Assemblies, and Wire Harnesses

Box Builds, Cable Assemblies, and Wire Harnesses

We provide comprehensive design and manufacturing services for box builds, cable assemblies, and wire harnesses to achieve full product assembly and functional integration. Box builds include the entire device or system that is finally assembled, covering all electronic components, mechanical parts, and other related components to ensure that they can work in coordination and achieve the expected functions. Cable assemblies are composed of cables and connectors, which are responsible for connecting different electronic devices or systems. They focus on cable type, length, shielding, and connection method to ensure the reliability of signal transmission. Wire harnesses combine multiple cables and wires to simplify electrical connections, reduce clutter, and improve overall system reliability.
