On site PCB design
Layers/Dekimo has 18 years of experience in developing PCB designs for customers. In addition to executing PCB designs on project base, Layers’ PCB engineers can also be hired for a certain period of time, to come at customer’s premises and do on site design work.

Also when a PCB design is started on a project base, Layers/Dekimo has a tradition of going on site for the critical design stages and verifications.

That way, they can form a real extension of the customer’s own design staff, co-operating closely with his electronic designers, mechanical designers, project leaders, software/firmware designers etc.

Advantages of on site PCB design
Circuit design can be discussed and explained face to face. Technology decisions can be made on the spot: layer build and PCB technology, assembly technology reflow/wave. Interfacing with mechanical design can be checked thoroughly (e.g. height checks). Split up in different PCB if necessary. Consultation of FPGA programmer on possible pin swaps in order to improve BGA fanout.
