PCB Prototyping Service and Layout Design

Confirm Whether it is Needed

For new projects or new designs of original projects, it’s important for them that rapid PCB prototyping service meets high-quality standards and your fast PCB prototype technical specifications. If the original project is mature, you may not need the PCB prototype and PCB layout design for manufacturing.

Preparing and Confirm Technical Specification

To precision layout design and high-accuracy PCB prototype, you need to submit some information about your fast PCB prototype design. The more detailed information the better. Generally, the information you provide includes the following items:


  • • The number of layers
  • PCB prototyping Board thickness
  • • PCB prototyping Board dimensions
  • • Copper thickness and weight
  • • Min track and spacing
  • • Min hole size
  • • Min annular ring
  • • Surface finishing
  • • Soldermask and color
  • • Silkscreen legend and color
  • • Drill file NC Excellon
  • • Drill file tool list

Schematic Diagram Designrapid PCB prototyping schematic diagram

The schematic diagram is a diagram that shows the connection principle between devices on the PCB prototyping board. The schematic diagram plays an indispensable role in the process of product debugging, maintenance and improvement.


The extension from the schematic diagram will involve the rapid PCB prototyping layout design. Of course, this kind of layout is made based on a schematic diagram. By analyzing the schematic diagram and limiting other conditions of the PCB prototyping board, designers can determine the location of electronic components and the number of layers of the PCB prototyping board.


This schematic diagram is part of the initial design stage. After the completion of the first schematic diagram, PCBasic will initially check the potential defects and correct any defects that appear. Then, you can use a special PCB design tool to simulate to ensure that the rapid PCB prototyping board functions properly and as a more in-depth design check. Then we complete the first step of rapid PCB prototyping board.

Create BOM Table

BOM(Bill of Material) is a document that describes the structure of prototype PCB assembly electronic components in data format, and it is the detailed information that PCBA manufacturers buy the correct parts.

The BOM includes important information about each component, the following:


  • • Quantity: The number of components required per PCB prototyping board
  • • Reference Designator: Codes used to identify individual parts
  • • Value: The specifications for each component described in the appropriate units
  • • Footprint: The location of each component on the PCB prototyping board
  • • Manufacturer Part Number: The port number used by the manufacturer of the component


After the Engineers complete the BOM and schematic diagram of rapid PCB prototyping board layout design, PCBasic will check the documents and Confirm with the customer again. This is the second step of rapid PCB prototyping board.

PCBasic Layout and Wiring Review

According to PCBasic design specifications, design instructions, customer design requirements, and relevant checklists, our engineers connect the electronic components of rapid PCB prototyping board by routing. In our rapid PCB prototyping layout service, PCBasic analyzes signal integrity and evaluates electrical limitations to ensure the safety of board-level architecture. For complex layouts, PCBasic incorporates various simulations into our custom rapid PCB prototyping board design services.

Custom Confirmation and Data OutputPCB prototype Gerber

Before the rapid PCB prototyping board is manufactured, PCBasic confirms PCB prototype files with customers, including schematic, BOM, and layout. Once our rapid PCB prototyping design layout is approved for production, we will export it to the format for prototype PCB fabrication service--Gerber file. It is used to describe the design requirements of each image of PCB prototyping board.


Gerber format is a set of document formats for PCB industry software to describe rapid PCB prototyping board (circuit layer, solder resist layer, character layer, etc.) images and drilling and milling data. Gerber has three formats: Gerber X2, the latest Gerber format, RS-274X (extended Gerber format), and old-fashioned RS-274-D. Gerber format was originally developed by Gerber company and now belongs to Ucamco. Gerber format is the standard format for image conversion in the PCB industry.


Gerber documents are usually produced by PCB prototype designers using professional Electronic Design Automation (EDA) or CAD software. Gerber documents are sent to the PCB factory and imported into CAM software to provide data for every rapid PCB prototyping service process. Gerber data can also be used to provide image data for specific equipment, such as automated optical inspection equipment, and can also be used to describe drilling information. However, the drilling data is usually in Excellon format.

Prototype PCB Fabrication and Testing

Creating the Photo Film
create a photo film of rapid PCB prototyping board for each layer and solder mask of the prototype PCB board.
Printing the Inner layers
apply copper to substrate material by photoresist
Aligning the Layers
align all the layers and punch accurate registration holes
Fusing the Layers Together

Preliminary preparation for Prototype PCB assembly

Process evaluation

Using DFM (Design for manufacturability )tools has the advantage: evaluate the solderability of product design to prototype SMT PCB assembly process before production, how to ensure the quality of the production process through software and engineer's experience, and having process report on MES after evaluation).

IQC material inspection

Before warehousing, each PCB prototyping electronic component, IQC will use the instrument to strictly detect and upload the data to the MES system in real real-time to ensure the traceability of the quality.

Smart warehouse

When MES receives the order, the shelf will light up and guide the material staff to take out of the lighted storage position and take the PCB prototyping electronic components to the mobile smart material truck and deliver it to the production department.

Preparation area

PCB prototype, IC chips, and other sensitive components will be baked in the oven according to SOP, and the feeder will be loaded and prepared according to the PDA-MES instructions.
