What is the default thickness of your panel share service?
Answer:
1.6mm is the default standard for a PCB.
We do have other material thicknesses in stock, however it's not practical
for us to accommodate varying thicknesses on a panel share service.
Please contact us for your requirements before placing an order.
What design files do you accept for manufacture?
Answer:
We accept Gerber files, Excellon NC files, and PCB files from Altium, Eagle and DesignSpark.
In some cases we can covert other files such as PDFs and DXFs but this service isn't available as standard and you need to email us the data you have so we can see if it's suitable for conversion.
Do you check the manufacturing files before starting?
Answer:
During the process of loading your files, we make some very quick checks on tracks
and gaps, holes sizes, pad sizes, outlines and various other factors.
We don't however give you any assurances that we will find something that may cause
a problem later. Due to the heavy workloads we experience we can't check every job thoroughly,
and the responsibility is yours to ensure the design conforms to our guidelines.
