Local PCB Manufacturing

Upload Gerbers and move into production faster.

ExpandoWorks gives you a live intake flow for prototypes and short-run builds, with instant pricing, automated file checks, and direct Yoco payment before the manufacturing team takes the order forward.

Gerber intake + board validation

Prototype and low-volume productionPayment is taken first, then we validate the files and either proceed, assist, or refund.
01Outline + copper preview

Catch missing layers, unreadable copper, and board-size issues before checkout.

02Instant local estimate

Update stack-up, finish, and quantity in real time.

03Pay first, then file validation

If files cannot be manufactured before acceptance, we will help fix them or refund the order.

Production Intake

Upload the Gerber pack, review the board visually, and lock in the build spec.

  • Upload a single Gerber ZIP and we will read the outline automatically when available.
  • The viewer now pulls top-copper geometry as well, so you can sanity-check traces and pads before payment.
  • We validate the Gerber pack first, but Yoco payment happens before the manufacturing team takes the job forward.
Gerber ZIP Upload

Drop your fabrication package here.

We read the board outline automatically, render a manufacturing preview, and carry the file through to the engineering review stage.

Yoco payment comes first. If the manufacturing team rejects the files, we will help you correct them or issue a refund.

PCB Capability

Everything from the original PCB service page, now tied into the ordering flow.

ExpandoWorks supports online Gerber upload, instant quoting, secure review, and a broad range of PCB manufacturing needs. For unusual finishes, panelisation, gold fingers, or special stack-ups, include the request with your upload or email sales@expandoworks.com.

Gerber Ordering

How do I order PCB manufacturing from Gerber files?

Upload a Gerber ZIP, confirm the board size detected from the outline, select the layer count, finish, thickness, copper weight, solder mask, and quantity, then add the quote to cart. ExpandoWorks reviews the files before manufacturing starts and will contact you if anything needs correction.
