PCB design services — Altium, Cadence, PADS and Mentor

All four major EDA environments, in one building. Multilayer, high-speed, HDI and rigid-flex.

EDA design tools

PCB layout is the core of what we do. We work natively in all four major EDA environments and handle every step of the flow — library, schematic, placement, routing, stack-up, DFM and fabrication data — in-house.

Migrating between tools, or inheriting a design in a format the previous vendor could not open? That is routine work for us.

Altium Designer

Primary environment for schematic capture, layout, 3D visualisation and output generation.

Cadence OrCAD / Allegro

Constraint-driven high-speed layout, complex signal integrity setups and multi-board work.

PADS

Legacy database support and rapid mid-complexity turnarounds.

Mentor Xpedition

Enterprise design flows, team-based co-design and advanced constraint management.

Technology areas

HDI microvia PCB

HDI & Microvia

Laser-drilled microvias, via-in-pad, blind & buried vias and sequential lamination.

BGA fanout routing

BGA Escape Routing

Dog-bone fanout, breakout strategy, via-in-pad and anti-pad optimisation.

Rigid-flex PCB design

Rigid-Flex Design

IPC-2223 compliant bend zone design, stiffener and coverlay specification.

DDR length matching on PCB

Length Matching

Serpentine tuning for DDR and other parallel buses. Differential pair coupling throughout.

Heavy copper and power PCB design

Heavy Copper & Power

High-current power planes, thermal via arrays and component derating.

High-speed signal integrity analysis

Signal Integrity

Pre-layout SI guidance, impedance review, return-path management and eye-diagram verification.

Design flow

Requirements

Interfaces, constraints, layer count, form factor. Approval on stack-up before schematic starts.

Component Library

Verified symbols, footprints and 3D models. Nothing placed without a checked footprint.

Schematic Capture

Hierarchical or flat, ERC clean. Formal review before handoff to layout.

PCB Layout

Stack-up, floorplan, placement and constraint-driven routing.

Verification

DRC, DFM, 3D mechanical fit check and impedance review.

Release Package

Complete, reviewed fabrication and assembly data. Nothing leaves without a sign-off.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take over a design started in a different tool?
Yes. We import from Altium, Cadence, PADS and Mentor, and deliver the output in whatever format your next vendor or team requires. Tool migration is routine work for us.
Do you handle component sourcing and availability checks?
We flag long-lead and EOL components at the schematic stage and recommend verified alternates. We do not act as a distributor, but we can advise on sourcing strategy.
Can you work under an NDA?
Yes — NDA before any design data is shared is our standard practice, not an exception. Ask us to send one before your first email with attachments.

Send your schematic or Gerber files.

We will confirm layer count, technology requirements and timeline within one working day.
