Engineering review that finds fabrication and assembly risks before they become delays, rework or unnecessary production cost.
Design confidence before production
A design can pass electrical checks and still create fabrication, soldering, inspection or test problems. Our DFM / DFA review combines PCB manufacturing and assembly experience to identify constraints early and recommend practical corrections before files are released.
Focuses on whether the bare PCB can be fabricated reliably, repeatedly and at the intended cost.
Focuses on component placement, soldering, inspection, test access and assembly yield.
Review coverage
Outline, cutouts, slots, edge clearance, tooling features and mechanical constraints reviewed.
Hole sizes, aspect ratios, microvias, via-in-pad and copper fill checked against process capability.
Fine features, copper distribution, reference planes and controlled-impedance requirements assessed.
Pad geometry, solder-mask openings, courtyard clearance and package compatibility examined.
Placement access, component orientation, thermal mass and soldering sequence reviewed for yield.
AOI visibility, X-ray needs, test-point coverage and programming access considered before build.

Frequently asked questions
Please provide Gerber or ODB++ data, drill files, stackup, fabrication drawings, BOM, pick-and-place data and assembly drawings. Schematics and 3D mechanical files are helpful for a deeper review.
The best time is before final release and purchase commitment. An early review can also be completed during layout so major constraints are addressed before routing is finished.
Yes. We can review against your nominated supplier’s capabilities or general industry rules, provided their specific manufacturing constraints are available.
