How does AbsolutePCB assess the turnaround time for printed circuit board manufacturing…is there a cut-off time?
The calculation for turnaround begins the first business day after an order is received.  If an order is placed after 8PM EST, the order will be reviewed the following business day.

Does AbsolutePCB require specific PCB design software for manufacturing my PC boards?
Any PCB design software that is able to export your project in Gerber format will work.  After exporting your Gerber files, please upload them to our website as a .Zip folder and do not forget to embed a tool list in your Excellon drill file, or provide one in a separate text file.  Common file extensions for Tool Lists are .tol and .rep.

What happens if there is a manufacturing issue with my boards?
If you received a PCB from AbsolutePCB with a manufacturing issue, we will replace the damaged pieces at no cost to you.  Provide us with your invoice number and please detail the specific issue within 30 days of your order - See Terms of Service.
