PCB manufacturing with ShinePCB
Share Gerber or ODB++ data with a fabrication drawing and quantity. Our engineers check manufacturability, confirm materials and stack-up, and raise questions before a quotation is issued, so the confirmed order matches what you need.
Sample and production requirements are reviewed separately, and special processes are confirmed for each project.

PCB FAQs
Do you issue an instant price?
No. Each project is reviewed by engineering first, and the quotation confirms scope, price, lead time and terms before payment.
Can you suggest a stack-up?
Yes. Share your layer count, thickness and impedance targets and we will propose or check a stack-up during review.
How are my files handled?
Technical files are kept out of public links and shared only within your project. Please do not send them through public channels.

Every order follows the same controlled sequence. Prototype and production requirements are reviewed separately.
File review
Gerber or ODB++, drill data, drawing and quantities are checked for completeness.
Engineering questions
Open points on manufacturability, materials or special processes are sent before quotation.
Stack-up and material
Construction, laminate and finish are confirmed with you and written into the order.
Fabrication
The order is released to the facility whose process and qualification fit the requirements.
