Custom PCB Questions
Custom PCB Fabrication FAQ
Practical answers about custom circuit boards, fabrication options, order stages and quotation files.
Discuss your next custom board:
sales@pcbelec.comWhat is custom PCB fabrication?
Custom PCB fabrication is the manufacture of bare circuit boards from your design files and manufacturing specification. It defines the board’s circuit layers, materials, copper, holes, finish and mechanical features.
PCBELEC manufactures custom boards for prototype, small-batch and production orders. Explore the fabrication options available for your build.
Is custom circuit board printing the same as PCB fabrication?
“Custom circuit board printing” is often used as a general phrase for ordering a custom PCB. PCB fabrication is the more precise term for manufacturing the bare board.
The finished board includes its conductive patterns, insulating structure, interconnects, surface finish and mechanical features—not simply a printed graphic on a substrate.
Which PCB features can I customize?
You can specify the board construction, materials, layer stackup, thickness, circuit copper, hole structures, impedance requirements, surface finish, solder mask and markings.
Custom mechanical options include outlines, cutouts, slots, mounting features and panel formats. Review our manufacturing capabilities alongside your fabrication drawing.
Can you manufacture both prototype and production quantities?
Yes. PCBELEC supports prototype boards, pilot builds, low-volume orders and production runs. Each order identifies the required revision, construction, quantity and delivery format.
Explore our prototype-to-production services to choose the right route for your project.
What affects the cost of a custom PCB?
Fabrication cost reflects the dimensions, quantity, layer count, materials, copper, interconnects, finish and mechanical complexity. Inspection records, panel format and delivery requirements also contribute to the quotation.
Send the board files and order details to request a custom manufacturing quote .
Which files should I send for a quotation?
Send Gerber files, drill data and a fabrication drawing with the board revision, materials, stackup, copper, surface finish and quantity. Include critical dimensions, impedance targets and special-feature drawings.
Add your packaging, reporting and delivery requirements. Review the manufacturing file requirements for file-preparation guidance.
