Validation & fab

PCBWay

Similar to JLCPCB. Slightly more expensive, more flexible on options.

How it looks

Drawing: a process, not a thing on the board
Gerbers +drill filesBOM + CPLboard madeparts placedshippedsame route as JLCPCB, with more choices at each step:finishes, colours, materials, flex and odd sizes
PCBWay's order flow is the same shape as JLCPCB's; the difference is the menu of options and the price.

How it works

Where it fits

A peer of JLCPCB. Which fab we use is decided at the constraints stage, because the fab's capability table sets our clearance and stackup.
