Line 1: '''Outsourcing PCB fabrication''' is to have [[Printed circuit board\|~~PCB~~PCBs]]s professionally produced from the files output by your [[electronic design automation\|EDA]] software. == Advantages == This method might seem more expensive, however in the long term it isn't. Professionally produced PCBs can offer much higher quality, ~~with~~multi-layer ~~options~~boards, ~~such~~trimmed asto ~~multiple~~size, ~~layers~~tinned, [[soldermask\|solder masked]], ~~plated through vias and~~ [[silkscreen\|silk-screened]], drilled and plated through vias. These will make assembly easier and save time that might otherwise be spent on [[debugging]] potentially low-quality and unreliable PCBs.<ref>[https://www.guitarscanada.com/index.php?threads/building-pedals.76804/ Building pedals,...], by mhammer, The Canadian Guitar Forum, 6 Feb 2016</ref><!-- add something about smt stencils --> === Order pooling === Line 12: == Manufacturers == A list of ~~cheaper~~ PCB manufacturers who are economical for low volume production.
