Direct manufacturing

PCB Factory: Direct Manufacturing With Reviewable Process

VeriPCB operates as a pcb factory interface coordinating fabrication, SMT, THT, testing and box build with clear assumptions and controlled changes.

What this service solves

A controlled path from requirements to acceptance

Working with a pcb factory should mean direct process control, not a black box. We confirm fabrication limits, process route, sourcing and test scope against your files before material is committed. See the custom PCBA scope or the capability review.

Best fit for

  • Buyers wanting factory-direct communication
  • Programs needing process transparency
  • OEMs with recurring production
  • Teams requiring documented build evidence

Scope

Typical build sequence

  1. 01

    Build package

    Gerber or ODB++, BOM, centroid, drawings, quantity and acceptance needs.

  2. 02

    Engineering review

    Resolve revision, manufacturability, material and test ambiguities.

  3. 03

    Fabrication & sourcing

    Prepare boards and approved components against the frozen package.

  4. 04

    Assembly

    Run SMT, THT and any agreed programming or mechanical work.

  5. 05

    Inspection & test

    Apply the project-specific visual, optical, X-ray and electrical plan.

  6. 06

    Release

    Verify records, labeling, packaging and shipment configuration.

Workflow

How a build moves forward

  1. 01

    Qualification

    Confirm product stage, quantities and commercial fit.

  2. 02

    File review

    Identify missing data and manufacturability conflicts.

  3. 03

    Quotation

    Separate material, fabrication, assembly, test and logistics assumptions.

  4. 04

    Approval

    Freeze revisions, alternates and acceptance criteria.

  5. 05

    Build & validation

    Manufacture against the approved package and record agreed results.

Buyer questions

Frequently asked questions

What does a PCB factory coordinate?

Fabrication, component sourcing, SMT or THT assembly, inspection, testing and shipment documentation under one build package.

How is process transparency shown?

Through stated fabrication limits, process route, inspection method and acceptance criteria agreed before the run.

Can fabrication and assembly be one plan?

Yes, under turnkey where bare-board fabrication, sourcing and assembly are coordinated with an agreed substitution process.

How are changes controlled at volume?

Revision control, first-article checks after changeovers and retained fixtures keep repeat builds consistent.

What evidence should a factory provide?

Current certificates, equipment and process-route detail, sample records and a quotation recording assumptions and exclusions.

Will you protect my design?

Customer design files remain the customer's property. An NDA can be requested before confidential files are exchanged.
