RFQ And Project Files

Because PCBark is a PCB manufacturing and assembly service provider, quote requests may include technical files that are confidential to your company. We use these files to evaluate manufacturability, assembly risk, material choices, lead time, pricing, and production feasibility.

Access to project files is limited to personnel and service providers who need the information to review, quote, manufacture, assemble, inspect, ship, or support the project.
