On this page we would like to familiarize you with some basic design tips which, if followed, will ensure that your order runs smoothly and that your PCBs are produced optimally.
The avoidance of misunderstandings in data analysis and error-free production form the optimum basis for being able to deliver a cost-effective product to you on time.

1. Data format
   a. Use common standard formats
   b. Only provide the data you actually need
   c. Label the files in a suitable form
2. layer stackup
   Attach an appropriate layer stack-up
3. Scaling
   Do not scale.
   Please always deliver the data in 1:1 format (100%) to avoid conversion errors
4. Zero apertures
   Avoid zero apertures, i.e. elements and openings of size 0 (0.00 millimeters or inches)
5. Unit
   Use the same unit of measurement in all files
6. Offset
   Do not specify an additional offset and use the same origin for all layers
7. Mirroring
   Do not mirror any layers
   a. Send us the individual layers, preferably with a clear view of the top side.
   b. Apply text or another reference to define the orientation
8. Resolution
   All layers in the Gerber and drilling data should use the same resolution (grid). Use as many decimal places as possible so that the values are not rounded.
9. Flash
   SMD or THT pads and drill holes should be created as “Flash” in the Gerber data. Avoid polygons for these elements.
10. Drilling program
    In the drilling program, a distinction should be made between plated-through and non-plated-through holes with different tools.
11. Thermal pads
    To optimize heat dissipation, especially with SMD pads, we recommend the use of heat conducting pads
12. Angle
    Avoid acute angles> ≥90° for conductor tracks. We recommend only using angles < ≤45°.
13. Distance
    Keep a distance of min. 400µm between copper surfaces and conductor tracks to the outer contour.
14. Screen printing
    a. Use sufficiently large characters
    b. choose a suitable font (without serifs)
    c. Take care not to overprint any solder pads with text. This is clipped away and thus possibly illegible
15. Additional file
    Attach an additional file or an additional field in Gerber with important information.
