Custom FR4 PCB Fabrication – Quick Turn & Low Cost

Every electronics project begins with a unique design. Whether you’re developing a medical deviceindustrial controllerIoT sensor, or consumer product, your PCB requirements are specific to your application.

We offer custom FR4 PCB fabrication – building boards exactly to your Gerber files – with quick turnaround times and low cost that fits your budget. No forced standardizations. No hidden fees. Just reliable, custom PCBs delivered fast.

What Makes Custom Fabrication Different?

AspectStandard CatalogCustom Fabrication (Us)
DesignPre-designed boardsYour design, your Gerber files
Layer stackupFixed standard stackupCustom – any stackup you specify
Board shapeRectangular onlyAny shape – routed to your outline
MaterialsLimited optionsAny FR4 grade, any copper weight
FinishesLimited optionsAny finish – ENIG, HASL, OSP, etc.
Quantity flexibilityFixed pack sizesAny quantity – 5 to 100,000+
TurnaroundVariesQuick turn available (3-7 days)
CostHigher per board (retail)Lower per board (wholesale)

Quick Turn + Low Cost – The Best of Both Worlds

Many PCB manufacturers force you to choose:

Trade-offTypical Outcome
Quick turn = expensivePay 2-3x for faster delivery
Low cost = slowWait 3-4 weeks for budget pricing

We offer both: Quick turn and low cost.

Service LevelTurnaroundCost Level
Standard7-12 daysLowest
Quick turn (5-day)5 working daysLow (+20-30%)
Express (3-day)3 working daysModerate (+50-70%)
Emergency (24-48h)1-2 working daysHigher (+100-150%)

No matter which speed you choose, our base pricing is competitive. You only pay a premium for faster speed – not for the custom nature of your design.

New to custom PCB fabrication? Start with a small prototype order (5-10 pieces) to validate our quality before scaling up.

Q1: What does “custom FR4 PCB fabrication” mean?

A: Custom fabrication means we build PCBs specifically to your design – not from a catalog of standard boards.

AspectWhat We Do
Your Gerber filesWe build exactly what you designed
Your specificationsLayer count, thickness, copper weight, finish – you choose
Your board shapeAny shape – routed to your outline
No modificationsWe never change your design without approval

Standard = off-the-shelf. Custom = made for you.


Q2: How fast is “quick turn”?

A:

Service LevelTurnaroundBest For
Standard (lowest cost)7-12 daysNon-urgent production

1,000-100,000+ pieces (mass production)Yes

Order exactly what you need – no forced overbuying.


Q5: Do I need to order large quantities to get low pricing?

A: No – our pricing is competitive at all volumes.

QuantityPrice Level
10 piecesFair (prototype pricing – higher per board)
100 piecesGood (economy of scale starts)
500 piecesVery good
1,000+ piecesExcellent (lowest per board)

Even at 10 pieces, our pricing is reasonable – we don’t penalize small orders.


Q6: Can you fabricate boards with controlled impedance?

A: Yes – controlled impedance is available.

ImpedanceToleranceLead Time Addition
50Ω single-ended±10% standard+1-2 days
90Ω differential (USB/LVDS)±10% standard+1-2 days
100Ω differential (Ethernet/HDMI)±10% standard+1-2 days
Tighter tolerance (±8% or ±5%)Available+2-3 days

Free impedance stackup design – we calculate trace width/spacing for you.


Q7: Do you offer a free DFM review?

A: Yes – free DFM review included with every order.

What We CheckWhy It Matters
Trace width/spacingPrevents shorts/opens
Annular ringPrevents via breakout
Drill-to-copper clearancePrevents shorts
Solder mask sliversPrevents mask peeling
Missing layersCatches incomplete files
Stackup feasibilityEnsures manufacturability

DFM report provided before you approve – no surprises.


Q8: What file formats do you accept?

A: Preferred: Gerber RS-274-X (extended Gerber)

Also acceptedNotes
ODB++Modern standard – excellent
IPC-2581Acceptable
PCB design files (Altium, Eagle, KiCad, PADS)We can export Gerbers (may add 1 day)
PDF (only for reference)Not sufficient – Gerbers required

For best results: Export Gerber RS-274-X from your PCB design software.


Q9: What is the maximum board size you can fabricate?

A:

Board SizeCapability
Up to 500mm x 600mmStandard capability
500mm x 600mm to 600mm x 800mmAvailable on request (additional cost)
>800mmMay require special handling – contact us

For very large boards – discuss with our engineers before ordering.


Q10: How do I get started with a custom FR4 PCB order?

A: Simple process:

  1. Export Gerber files from your PCB design software (RS-274-X)

  2. Upload files to our quote form or email to us

  3. Specify requirements – layer count, thickness, copper weight, finish

  4. Receive DFM review and quote within 24 hours

  5. Approve and pay – we start fabrication
