PCB Design & Layout

Design Implementation Methods

Our designers have the experience to realize any PCB design from inception to completion.

RightHand Technologies will take your hand drawing or PowerPCB-compatible file and capture a schematic in OrCAD, create footprints, place parts and route your board according to IPC and component manufacturers recommended design specifications. All of our boards are designed with manufacturability and testability in mind. Proper panelization and layer minimization are also key considerations to keep your costs to a minimum.

In addition, we have an extensive library of design elements with proven functionality that we can reuse for new designs. This helps to significantly compress the development schedule. We also have a streamlined design tool flow and a unique, optimized process to migrate designs to manufacturing quickly and efficiently.
