Gerber files have become the printed circuit board manufacturing industry’s standard design file output for PCB fabrication. When your PCB design is complete and you are ready for manufacturing your circuit boards, the first thing you need to do is to export your design files in Gerber format.

With many choices for PCB fabrication, how do you know which vendor you can trust for quality HDI PCB manufacturing? Not all printed circuit boards are created equal and HDI PCBs require even more attention, expertise, and high precision equipment to manufacture.

Printed circuit board design can be very challenging, even for the most experienced design engineers. There are many reasons a printed circuit board design can be held up in production for design rule violations, but AdvancedPCB makes it easy to find out if your design files contain possible manufacturability issues.

AdvancedPCB is North America’s third largest printed circuit board manufacturer in sales volume. The company relies on its three U.S. based facilities to meet customers’ demands for quickturn prototype quantities, high-volume production runs, as well as advanced technology requirements; providing powerful circuit board solutions that range from the simplest designs to the most rigorous requirements for the medical, commercial, defense, and aerospace marketplace.

HDI PCBs are increasingly becoming more common as consumers demand for smaller and more capable electronics grows and electronic design engineers push the limits of technology. HDI PCBs, short for High Density Interconnect printed circuit boards, take a great deal of precision to manufacture using specialized equipment and the skills of highly trained technicians.

Gerber files are a key piece to the puzzle for manufacturing printed circuit boards. They contain all the necessary data that a PCB manufacture will require to produce the boards to your exact specifications accurately.

Printed circuit board assembly, also known as “stuffing” or “populating the bare printed circuit board is quite an intricate process involving many different phases. AdvancedPCB in house printed circuit board assembly service makes ordering your turnkey printed circuit boards a hassle-free experience because you can rely on the industry’s largest support team to help you navigate every step of the process.

From simple prototypes to the most advanced of electronics require a custom PCB to be designed and fabricated. AdvancedPCB’s broad range of custom PCB manufacturing capabilities can meet the design requirements for all of your custom PCB fabrication projects for both prototyping and production quantities.

Creating a circuit board can be a complex process beginning with the design itself. With advancing and progressive technology, the processes have become increasingly simplified with the help of PCB design software and innovations in the PCB manufacturing industry.
