If your design hasn't made it past that cocktail napkin, or that pile of wires on your workbench, we can help.

Key Benefits

• We can work from incomplete or partial information
• We can take an existing schematic and complete the work
• We can probably use the schematic tool faster than your engineer
• Full back annotation capabilities

Resources and Capabilities

• Altium Designer
• OrCAD Capture 17.2 and earlier

If you do not have a specific requirement, this is our preferred program.

• PADS PowerLogic VX.2.6 and earlier

Deliverables to you

• Source Files
• PDF print

If all you have are the original gerbers, a tattered copy of the schematic, or a bare or assembled PCB, we may be able to help. But it must be your design.

 You may want to consider reverse engineering if you need to make changes to an existing design, and can't find the original CAD files, or they're not complete, or no one knows who designed it anymore... 

• Cost is usually less than a new design, but we'll let you know if it's not
• Assemblies will cost less without the need to rework them.
• You will get a complete set of documentation. 

We can help if you have at least three of the following: 

• The original gerbers. 
• A bare or assembled board.
• A copy of the schematics, in CAD form or on paper.
• The original Bill of Materials

 

We will provide the files you need to fabricate and assemble your design.

For each PCB layout, you will get 3 or 4 ZIP files, depending on the software used. The FAB and ASSY files are complete packages you can send to your vendors. The CAD file is for archiving and internal reference. The optional 3D file can be very large, and may require FTP for delivery.
