#579 PCB Fabrication

My personal notebook on PCB fabrication options.

Notes

To go beyond breadboards, Manhattan or other home-brew techniques for circuit fabrication, there are basically 3 options:

• DIY PCB Etching
• Send to a fab - see options below
• Get a PCB milling machine e.g. from ucamco

Small-batch PCB Fabrication Services

• OSH Park
• itead
• expresspcb
• seeed

Projects I've sent to a fab

• nRF24Breakout - sent to OSH Park
• ShiftDriveModule - sent to OSH Park
