PCB Layout Quoting and Ordering Online

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 20, 2009

New service helps engineers by tackling one more piece of the prototype puzzle

Canby, OR – May 20, 2009 – Screaming Circuits has introduced PCB Layout quoting as another online tool to help simplify prototype development and sourcing. Its new online layout quote calculator asks for the number of components, nets and nodes, and then provides an immediate quote for pc board layout. Hit the order button and the order is sent to Screaming Circuits. The quote and order form as well as standard terms &
conditions for layout services and a detailed Q&A on layout services are conveniently located at

“Design engineering is one of the most overworked functions in any company. Our customer surveys continually tell us that design engineers see the front-end ordering process for layout and prototyping as non-value added activity that takes them away from far more important product development duties. For that reason, we continually work to streamline our quoting and ordering processes, as well as reduce delivery turn times,”
said Duane Benson, Screaming Circuits’ marketing manager.

The new service is designed to be fast and easy for typical layout jobs, and provides customers all the files needed to fabricate PCBs. To further streamline the prototype process, once the layout files are complete and customer-approved, Screaming Circuits can send the files directly to partner Sunstone Circuits for PCB fabrication and then receive boards back at Screaming Circuits for assembly.
