Build your own circuit board online
« on: July 23, 2004, 08:20:24 am »
From my company's daily tech newsletter:

Quote
A Web site, Pad2Pad, enables customers to design custom circuit boards online, PC Magazine reported in its August 3 issue. Customers download software, place parts, run traces, spot holes, and connect layers. Pad2Pad prices work before it actually assembles the boards from a large inventory of parts. Pad2Pad can leave holes or surface-mount pads on the board, enabling customers to stuff or solder the more esoteric integrated circuits. eMachineShop works similarly for physical objects.

This might be useful to someone.  It will certainly be useful to me in my other hobby - Amateur Radio.

This is not a new service.  There are multiple companies offering custom small-run PCBs.  Search on Pad2Pad on Slashdot and read the replies.

Yeah, it was posted before.

But it's off the main page now, so...

OK OK, I must have had a typo in my search terms when I checked.  Sorry for the clutter.
