Custom PCB design and manufacturing
We design PCBs ready for prototyping, validation and manufacturing, reducing rework, assembly errors and scaling issues.
- clear requirements for PCB design and manufacturing
- architecture aligned with the product stage
- validation with real hardware and real use
- maintainable implementation for future iterations
A custom PCB makes the difference
As a project matures, there comes a point when working with modules or provisional assemblies no longer makes sense.
A well-designed PCB reduces size, improves reliability, organizes the electronics and prepares the project for real validation, integration or manufacturing.
At RobotUNO we design and manufacture custom PCBs for electronic products, prototypes, connected systems and devices that need a solid, professional electronics foundation.
When does it make sense to move to a custom PCB?
Not every project needs a custom PCB from day one. But when the product starts to demand consistency, compactness, integration or repeatability, taking that step is usually the right call.
Prototype maturity
When a prototype built from modules is no longer enough and begins to limit testing, reliability or integration.
Integration and size
When you need to reduce volume, organize the electronics and make the product behave like a coherent system.
Robustness and repeatability
When you want a more robust, professional and repeatable solution to build several identical units.
Validation and manufacturing
When you need a base prepared for testing, demos, initial manufacturing or the move toward more advanced production runs.
Designing the PCB properly from the start saves time later
A bad PCB does not only cause electrical issues. It also delays testing, makes iterations more expensive and complicates product evolution.
A well-planned board improves prototype performance, simplifies the firmware work and reduces friction in validation, assembly and future iterations.
The point is not just to make it work today. The electronics foundation must make sense for the product and not penalize you tomorrow.
What we do at RobotUNO
We organize the service around three clear fronts so you know what we solve, how we make technical decisions and what support you have until manufacturing.
Component selection
We define the electronic foundation of the product with real criteria for availability, cost and usage, avoiding decisions that later block prototypes, assembly or substitutions.
- electrical architecture and initial schematic
- stock, substitution and reasonable cost criteria
- components aligned with the real stage of the project
PCB design
We build the layout with a product mindset, taking care of placement, routing, technical review and the decisions that affect integration, reliability and assembly.
- layout and routing with practical criteria
- design-rule review and critical-point review
- a base ready to manufacture and evolve with less rework
Manufacturing and testing
We prepare the files, support the order and help validate the first units so the PCB reaches the prototype or initial run with less friction.
- Gerbers, BOM and manufacturing documentation
- support with ordering, assembly and initial validation
- adjustments or redesign if the first iteration needs it
What this service includes
Complete technical foundation
- technical analysis of the project
- definition of board requirements
- schematic design
- component selection
- PCB layout
Manufacturing
- preparation of Gerbers, BOM and manufacturing files
- support with ordering and prototype assembly
- support during prototypes or initial runs
- a base ready for validation and the next iteration
What you receive
We work so you leave with real, clear and usable deliverables, not with a half-formed idea or files that are difficult to interpret.
Schematic
The electrical foundation of the design, with the circuit logic clearly organized.
PCB layout
Placement and routing prepared for manufacturing and review with proper criteria.
BOM
A component list aligned with the design and the product stage.
Gerbers and manufacturing files
Files ready to order boards without improvisation.
Manufacturing documentation
Baseline information to make ordering, assembly and review easier.
Technical review before ordering
A final check to reduce issues before launching prototypes.
Support for the initial prototype
Support during the first units and the next iteration decisions.
How we approach PCB design
We understand the product
We analyze what the board needs to do and align the design with the real use of the product.
- electrical, mechanical and functional requirements
- the real goal of the board within the system
- integration and validation priorities
We design the electronic foundation
We define the schematic, the architecture and the component selection in a way that makes sense for the project.
- electronic schematic
- component selection
- board architecture
We build the layout
We place components and optimize connections for a clean, logical and manufacturable board.
- component placement
- routing with practical criteria
- consistency with assembly and final use
We prepare manufacturing
We generate the manufacturing files and leave the board ready for prototypes or initial runs.
- Gerbers and documentation
- review before ordering
- support with manufacturing and assembly
We validate and evolve
We review the result and leave the base prepared for the next phase of the product.
- corrections when needed
- improvements for the next iteration
- preparation for industrialization
Real design. Real boards. Real projects.
PCBs designed for manufacturing
We create boards designed for real assembly, technical review and fewer errors in prototypes and production.
Electrical and layout review
We optimize schematics, routing, footprints and design decisions to improve reliability, cost and assembly.
From design to a physical prototype
We prepare the documentation and files needed to manufacture, assemble and validate the board with solid technical criteria.
If your project needs its own PCB, this is the right moment to approach it properly
We help you move from an idea, a schematic or a provisional prototype to a real board that fits the product and is ready to be manufactured.
Frequently asked questions
Can you design a PCB from scratch?
Yes. We can start from an idea, a preliminary architecture or a functional need and build the board from zero.
Do you also manufacture the boards or only design them?
We can support both the design and the manufacturing of prototypes or initial runs, depending on the scope of the project.
Can you review or improve an existing PCB?
Yes. If you already have a previous board, we can review it, detect improvement points and propose a stronger redesign.
Do you work only on prototypes or also on small runs?
We work in both situations. We can design for initial validation and also prepare the base for small production runs.
Can you also handle the firmware and the complete product?
Yes. If the project needs it, we can integrate electronics design, firmware and product evolution under one technical direction.
What do you need to assess PCB design for a project?
We need to understand the goal of the board, the current stage of the project, the usage constraints and the maturity of the product.
Can an NDA be signed?
Yes. We can sign a confidentiality agreement before reviewing documentation or going into detail about the electronics.
Can you prepare the board for future mass manufacturing?
Yes. The design can be oriented from the beginning to leave a stronger foundation for industrialization and product evolution.
