About this Gig
Already have a PCB design but worried it may fail during manufacturing or assembly?
I will professionally review, identify, fix and optimize your existing PCB design for DFM and manufacturing readiness.
This service is specifically for clients who already have a PCB and want an experienced second review before sending the design to fabrication or assembly.
I can check your PCB for issues such as:
Manufacturing clearances and spacing
Trace width and routing issues
Via and drill requirements
Component placement problems
Footprint errors
Soldering and assembly concerns
Copper pour and grounding issues
PCB layout inconsistencies
Schematic-to-PCB discrepancies
Gerber manufacturing errors
BOM and component issues
DFM/DFA concerns
General production-readiness issues
I can work with PCB designs created in KiCad, Altium Designer, EasyEDA, Eagle and other common PCB design environments.
Depending on the package, you can receive a detailed review report, corrected PCB files, updated Gerbers, BOM review and manufacturing recommendations.
FAQ
Do I need to already have a PCB design?
Yes. This gig is primarily for reviewing and improving an existing PCB design.
What PCB files do you need?
I can work with source PCB files, schematic files, Gerbers, drill files, BOMs and other relevant manufacturing documentation.
Can you fix the problems you find?
Yes. Standard and Premium packages include PCB corrections, depending on the complexity of the issues.
Do you check Gerber files?
Yes. I can review Gerbers for common manufacturing and fabrication issues.
Can you review my schematic too?
Yes. Schematic-to-PCB consistency can be included in the Standard or Premium package.
Do you check the BOM?
Yes. BOM review can be included to identify potential component, footprint and manufacturing concerns.
Can you review a PCB before I send it to JLCPCB or PCBWay?
Yes. I can review your design against the manufacturing requirements you provide.
Can you work with multilayer PCBs?
Yes. I can review multilayer boards, with the maximum layer count depending on your selected package and board complexity.
