AdvancedPCB™ is the true “one-stop” solution for printed circuit board manufacturing and assembly all under one roof and as quick as one day. The seamless process takes the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors and cuts down on the shipping delays that can occur when shipping your boards to a separate facility for assembly.

AdvancedPCB offers the best free PCB design software available, PCB Artist. Since its release in 2007, the free software became highly popular among electronic design hobbyists and professional engineers because of its easy to learn and easy to use interface for simple layouts, but also its powerful capabilities for more AdvancedPCB designs.

Today’s printed circuit boards (PCBs) are packed with components and functionality that has quickly made manual designs and construction a practice nearly relegated to the Stone Age. Even hobbyists and beginners can now very easily access complex software that makes quick work of simple projects, and promotes reliability and efficiency in design.

Circuit boards, more commonly referred to as printed circuit boards or simply PCBs, consist of a combination of insulated “board” materials with electronic components mounted and interconnected to produce a desired electronic circuit and specific function.

AURORA, CO – AdvancedPCB, has received The 2016 Gold Award from the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District for the tenth year for 100 percent compliance with industrial pre-treatment requirements and a dedicated commitment to environmental excellence. The chemical complexities involved in the fabrication of printed circuit boards, make this prestigious award a significant achievement that puts AdvancedPCB at the forefront of PCB manufactures in North America.

Most PCB manufacturers are finding the demand for multilayer boards increasing by leaps and bounds. This growing demand is fed by the need for smaller, lighter boards for use in electrical devices, military equipment, healthcare miniaturization, and an expanding market for smart devices incorporated in home automation systems.

Surface mount technology (SMT) is a design and fabrication process that replaces the through-hole mounting of PCB components with direct placement on the printed circuit board surface.

Engineers designing printed circuit boards (PCBs) commonly generate a prototype board prior to full-scale manufacturing of boards for end products. Multiple prototype runs will often be included in the development of the final fabricated PCB, for good reason.

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is the widely-used alternative to older through-hole (TH) printed circuit board design and manufacturing practices. While TH fabrication still has its place, SMT has largely taken over where size, weight, and automated manufacturing processes are considerations.
