Making good PCBs in one or two days require a big effort. Sometimes we don't even have the time to get in touch with you before the delivery day arrives! Please check your PCB design twice and follow our CHECKLIST. Once your files are received we check the alignment of the layers and we make a FULL and COMPLETE check to see if they satisfy our DESIGN RULES. If there are small errors that can easily be corrected we do the necessary corrections for you, otherwise your order will be put ON HOLD and you will be asked to correct any error.

Check the complete list of common HOLD ISSUES.

We suggest you to check your Gerber files with a "Gerber Viewer". You can find many free Gerber Viewer software on the web. Among many other you can download "GC-PREVIEW" from the Graphicode website at www.graphicode.com.
