Specifications or data files for PCB fabrication and quotation PCB manufacturers often face challenges when customers request quotations based on PDF or JPG files, which are inadequate for accurate pricing of complex multilayer PCBs and cannot be used for fabrication. Accurate quotations and fabrication require PCB format files or Gerber files generated by common design software like Protel DXP, Powerpcb, or PADS. Manufacturers also need detailed PCB specifications, including board thickness, copper thickness, solder mask color, and surface treatment. If PCB files are unavailable, manufacturers can create Gerber files from physical PCB samples for production.
