What we Need to Fabricate your Board


What we need from you:

  • Gerber files of all etch layers - RS-274 Gerber format or include aperture list.
  • NC Drill file - ASCII or binary.
  • Fabrication drawing - in Gerber, HPGL, DXF, DWG or PDF format. The drawing should show overall dimensions and a hole size chart. The hole size legend should state finished hole size and if plated through (PTH) or non-plated (NPTH).
  • Readme.txt file describing the file extensions and your instructions.

    Note: We can manufacture boards using only Gerber and drill files but the additional information provides for checking.

How to send us your data:

  • Anonymous FTP
    Please "ZIP" up all files with a compression utility like WinZip and include a readme file for clarity. This is convenient if your data files exceed email attachment size allowances.
  • Private FTP account
    If you require a private account on one of our servers for sharing data with us.
  • Via email << sales@rb-design.com >>
    Please zip up all files with a compression utility like WinZip and include a brief description in the body of the email for clarity.
    Note: Some files may be too large to transfer through email. Our servers can handle files no larger than 20MB.

    Please contact us if you need further assistance.
