Custom Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Manufacturing Australia

Close up image of PCB

Overview

To ensure your custom PCB is optimised for production, our engineering-led process follows these critical steps:

  1. Initial Design Review: We accept Altium or Gerber files and perform a comprehensive DFM (Design for Manufacturability) check.

  2. Stack-Up Optimization: Our engineers assist with material selection and impedance modeling to ensure signal integrity.

  3. Rapid Prototyping: We offer accelerated turnaround times for engineering builds, allowing for quick iteration before full-scale production.

  4. Final Verification: Every prototype undergoes 100% electrical testing to guarantee performance from the first board.

We deliver high-quality, high-reliability bare Printed Circuit Boards to customers who value strong engineering support, consistent quality and dependable supply. With over 35 years of Australian manufacturing and PCB expertise, backed by a global network of factories across China, Taiwan and Korea, we ensure your boards are sourced from the right factory, built using the right process, and delivered at the right cost and lead time. Whether for prototypes, low to mid-volume production or large-scale production, simple technology or complex technology, our engineering-led sourcing model gives customers confidence, clarity and continuity throughout their product lifecycle.

High Volume

Through our multi-country partner network — China, Taiwan and Korea — ensuring competitive pricing, continuity and stable capacity.

Lead times are influenced by material availability, PCB complexity and factory loading, especially for HDI and specialty builds. We advise early on the best path to meet your target dates.

Testing and Quality

Quality control is embedded into every stage of manufacture. From a quality assurance viewpoint, every PCB undergoes 100% electrical testing. Production batches get dimensional checks, cross-section verification and full COC documentation. Boards are inspected both at source and again in our HK or Melbourne facilities as required.

Standards & Compliance

PCBs are produced to IPC-A-600 (Acceptability of Printed Boards) class 2 or 3. Our facility and partner network operate under ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, ISO13485 and IATF16949 certified management systems.
