Companies that design PCB for honest prices?

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

Greetings,

 

I am looking for a company that is able to design a PCB, that I can send to a PCB manifacturer, starting from components.

 

My availability is not that much, I just started to look into the possibility to make the first batch of PCB, probably 50 or 100, but before I need someone that actually make the PCB design.

 

I found some that does PCB production, but not that much info about who is offering a design service; any suggestion? I would like to avoid unsafe sources; it is not nice to figure out that the design was done wrong; once you spent thousands for PCB production and components.

 

Thanks!

Luke

    I would suggest designing the PCB yourself, especially since your design doesn't seem particularly complex. To find a board house that will design your board (the way you want it), mill it, and populate…

    Buy a copy of EAGLE and a couple of books and do the layout yourself.

    That is not an option, sadly.

     

    I write software; the time that it would take me to learn how to design PCB with Eaglecad, and the subsequent mistakes due lack of experience, would cost me more than hiring someone that knows how to do it.

     

    I am good at wiring up boards; and I don't think that learning design is something that I can pick in few weeks.

    sounds like the most important thing will be to find someone local, where are you based?

    I am in the San Francisco area; I did a preliminary search but found nothing for makers, as far as design from scratch.

     

    Most of what I found were more on the industrial side of things; and I am just a regular guy working in his garage image

    you could try linkedin, it throws up some PCB designers with Eagle PCB Design as the search term...

     

    https://www.linkedin.com/vsearch/p?type=all&keywords=eagle%20pcb%20design%20&orig=FCTD&rsid=919504061462347511482&pageKe…

     

    Or you could appeal for help on the EAGLE support forum here at element14.
