Your IP stays yours. Always.

Get a PCBA quote
without exposing
your design files.

Most EMS companies see your Gerber files before signing anything. Here, your files go directly to factory — NDA first, upload second. You get a DFM report within 24 hours, and zero strangers touch your IP.

[01] NO FILES YET

You share only project parameters

IPC class, stage, quantity. Nothing sensitive. No Gerbers asked yet.

[02] YOU GET PROTECTED FIRST

NDA in your inbox — sign before uploading anything

Legal protection locks in before your files move. Your session gets a private, one-time upload URL.

[03] YOUR QUOTE IN 24H

DFM report + firm PCBA quote — no waiting in queues

Your files route directly to engineers. No sales middleman. No manual quoting delay.

Your project qualifies if it requires

ISO 9001:2015 · Medical (ISO 13485) · Defense / ITAR · IPC Class 3 · RoHS

No files uploaded here

Get your NDA & secure upload link

Fill in your project context. You'll receive a private Vault URL to upload files — after your NDA is signed.

TLS 1.3 ENCRYPTED · NO IP FILES STORED BY MARKETING

How your files stay protected

You never have to choose between speed and IP security.

Other vendors ask for your Gerbers on page one. We flip the sequence: legal first, files second. Your data never touches a marketing server.

01

You share context, not your design

Describe your IPC class, stage, and quantity. No Gerbers, no BOM, no sensitive data — just enough for us to understand your project scope.

02

You're legally covered before a single file moves

A Mutual NDA lands in your inbox automatically. Sign it via DocuSign — then and only then, you receive a private, session-specific encrypted upload URL.

03

Your files go straight to engineers, not a sales queue

Upload routes directly to factory servers. You get a preliminary DFM report and firm PCBA quote within 24 hours — no account manager in between.

What you're actually getting

The assembly quality your
project demands.

"If you're building Class 3 or medical, you need traceability at every step — not just a certificate on a website. Your files trigger a review process, not a sales call."

Director of Engineering, K-Lab EMS
  • If your project is medical or defense-grade

    ISO 13485 & ITAR-registered infrastructure handles your compliance requirements natively.

  • If you need IPC Class 3 soldering

    Certified operators and AOI + X-Ray inspection as standard — not an upsell.

  • If you're moving from proto to NPI

    DFM feedback in your quote catches layout issues before you spin another board revision.

Questions engineers actually ask

Straight answers. No sales spin.

Why can't I just email you my Gerbers to get a quote?

Because email passes through servers you don't control — marketing tools, CDNs, logs. With us, your files never move until you have a signed NDA and a private upload URL. That sequence protects you, not us.

How fast will I actually get a quote?

Submit your parameters now, sign the NDA, upload your files — you'll have a preliminary DFM analysis and firm PCBA quote within 24–48 business hours. Your project goes directly to the engineering review team, not a quoting queue.

Is the NDA actually enforceable, or just a formality?

It's enforceable. Governed under California law, executed via DocuSign under the ESIGN Act and UETA. You receive a countersigned copy the moment you sign — it's mutual, meaning we're bound too.
