PCB Manufacturing sourcing for Ann Arbor programs
Bare-board PCB fabrication — rigid, flex, rigid-flex, and HDI — through a hand-picked manufacturer bench.
Our PCB manufacturing bench covers the full range of bare-board needs: rigid FR-4, high-Tg, polyimide flex, rigid-flex, HDI with microvias, high layer-count backplanes, controlled-impedance stack-ups, heavy copper, and metal-core PCBs. Layer counts run from single-sided through 30+ layers, with line/space down to 2/2 mil on HDI processes. Materials include Rogers, Isola, Megtron, and Taconic for high-frequency and high-speed designs. Surface finishes span ENIG, immersion silver, OSP, HASL, and ENEPIG. Volumes range from a 24-hour quick-turn 5-piece prototype to ongoing production releases in the thousands. Every shortlisted shop runs IPC-6012 and IPC-A-600 standards, with Class 2 and Class 3 options for medical, defense, and aerospace work. We match each Gerber package to a shop sized for your volume, lead time, and tolerance budget — never overpaying a high-mix prototyper for a production run, never asking a volume house for a one-off.
Why Ann Arbor teams source PCB fab through SmartFab
Multiple qualified sources, one RFQ
One PCB fab RFQ from Ann Arbor surfaces real quote comparisons from multiple shops — sized for your volume, your certifications, and your lead time.
Supply chain headache, eliminated
We absorb the sourcing, vetting, and follow-up on every Ann Arbor PCB fab program so your team stops chasing suppliers and starts shipping product.
Better supplier fit
PCB fab requirements vary wildly by industry — defense programs need ITAR-registered domestic shops, RF/microwave needs Rogers experience, and medical needs Class 3 yield discipline. For Ann Arbor programs in autonomous vehicles, that means routing to a shop with the right certifications and volume profile from day one.
Sourcing approach for Ann Arbor PCB fab programs
When we route a PCB fab RFQ for a Ann Arbor customer, we evaluate the project against partners on three axes: certifications (does it need ITAR registration or UL recognition?), volume (prototype, low-volume, production), and lead time. Ann Arbor's university spin-outs and AV testing hub need partners that bridge research-grade prototyping and automotive-grade production — our Midwest bench is structured to hand programs off between those two worlds cleanly.
For autonomous vehicles programs in Ann Arbor, we typically shortlist 2–3 partners and surface real quote comparisons within 24–48 hours.
