Complete In-House PCB Prototyping

From PCB Design to a Finished Assembly

Move from Gerber and Excellon manufacturing data to a physical PCB prototype and assembled board using one connected in-house workflow. MIPEC provides equipment and software for data preparation, milling and drilling, through-hole connection, solder paste application, component placement and reflow.

PCB project preparation in TrackMaker CAM software
STEP 01

Project Preparation

Import Gerber and Excellon manufacturing data, prepare machining operations and generate toolpaths before the physical PCB machining process begins.
