From schematic to tested board.

PCB design, firmware, software and small-batch assembly — designed, built and verified on our own line in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Part going obsolete?

Keep shipping when a part goes end-of-life.

We find the replacement, redesign the board around it, and port the firmware if a new chip needs a new framework — so a discontinued component doesn't discontinue your product.

Capabilities

Built and tested in house

0402 smallest package
±0.02 mm placement accuracy
52 reels per run
200 × 260 mm max board

Our own assembly line

Parts down to 0402, with QFN and BGA packages up to 18 × 18 mm, on boards up to 8.0 × 10.5 in (200 × 260 mm). Up to 52 unique reels loaded at once, for dense, component-heavy boards in a single pass. Dual-camera vision verifies every placement to ±0.02 mm before reflow, run lead-free and RoHS-compliant. It’s a real production line, sized for the pace of prototypes and small-batch runs.

100% testing, logged and serialized

Every board we build runs a fixture-specific automated test — power, current, and sleep-current limits checked, and every indicator verified by camera instead of an operator’s eye. Results are logged against that unit’s serial number, so there’s a per-unit record behind it. The same fixtures and station software are also something we design for a client to run on their own line.

Enclosures and fixtures, made here

Enclosures, panels, and fixtures come off our own laser cutter and multi-material 3D printers, not a separate shop. Everything is drawn in CAD against the actual board and its connectors, so cutouts and standoffs line up the first time. Fit is checked on a real printed or cut part before anything goes to volume.

How it works

Five steps, one point of contact

  1. 01 Scope A written scope of what’s being built.
  2. 02 Quote A fixed quote and lead time.
  3. 03 Schematic & layout A reviewable schematic and layout, before anything is ordered.
  4. 04 Prototype & test Assembled, tested prototypes with a test report.
  5. 05 Hand-off Production files, BOM, a firmware release, and a hand-off call.
