CAD Data:-
 
When ever possible we prefer to do the post processing of the CAD data files ourselves. The main software packages we support in this way are Easy PC, Eagle, PCB Wizard, DipTrace  ,DesignSpark , Autocad DXF, & Protel, but we are able to post process and manufacture PCB's from a number of other formats including PDF, BMP and JPG file formats, not forgetting any traditional tape artworks at either 1:1 or 2:1 requiring the use of our antique extremely large glass plate camera below.

If you fancy drawing the traditional way Chartpak-tape still have a range of suitable tape on offer. 

 

Large Antique Glass Plate Camera

Glass Plate camera, we believe was originally used by the UK Police for enlarging finger prints.

 

It was originally supplied by Hubex Ltd of Cricklewood London. Please let us know if you're able to add any extra information about the Glass Plate Camera.

We have many years of expertise in laying out circuit boards, and am always happy to quote to your design specification, or from whatever other information or data you might have. 

With so many CAD packages to choose, we would like to recommend our current favourites, Easy PC, Eagle, Sprint and DesignSpark .

It's also well worth a look at the upcoming open source alternatives. They are well written up to date, fully functional pieces of software written by enthusiasts who thrive on feedback. To date we recommended  SourceForge.net: PCB Layout Tool, boldport / PCBmodE   and FreePCB: freeware PCB layout software

Any Boardmaker 2 users please note this old DOS package is not compatible with windows XP. If using XP the only workarounds are either to update onto the newer leased Boardmaker 3, or import the PCB layout files directly into Number Ones Systems  Easy PC. We expect to be following the second option unless a sufficient number of you update onto Boardmaker 3 in which case it's lease may become a viable expense.
