Fabrication Services
The most complete gerber manufacturing review in the industry!

Mass Design (an ISO 9001:2008 company) builds quality printed circuit boards for customers who value product reliability and timely delivery. We do a complete design review of all prototype and production boards utilizing our Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) review. With our design experience and our many years fabricating PCBs we eliminate many simple errors. This ensures that your PCB boards are fabricated correctly the first time, helping our customers time to market.

    Prototypes - from your own board design (PFYD)
    As part of our Tech-In-A-Box program, we can create a stable, professionally built prototype/breadboard for you from your own board layout for testing, tinkering, or experimenting with a design. A step beyond anything that can be hand-wired by your technician, these boards, delivered fully assembled, offer an opportunity to test your designs without the artifacts that are typical of hand-built test circuits such as intermittent shorts and cold solder joints. Components (supplied by you) are professionally attached so that you can begin testing and analyzing your design. If you prefer, we are happy to lay out your prototype/breadboard for you.
