A clean handoff from PCB layout to manufacturing starts before Gerber export. Designers should confirm stack-up, impedance, mechanical boundary, connector position, keep-out area and current-carrying requirements early.

Assembly notes matter as much as fabrication files. Polarity marks, test points, programming connector access, panelization, fiducials and tooling holes can affect SMT efficiency and first article confirmation.

ULIKE supports CAD engineering and manufacturing review together so customers can reduce file revisions between design, board fabrication and PCBA assembly.
