For
Hardware founders without an in-house layout engineer
Worth noticing
The kit is limited to five 2-layer FR-4 boards up to 100 × 100 mm, with specified component and assembly limits.

Field notes

The stated workflow produces a schematic, layout, 3D model, and BOM before fabrication, with plain-language revision requests. The listed kit covers boards up to 100 × 100 mm and includes up to $10 in components per board; four- and six-layer designs need a separate quote. The sample board pages are marked as design demos, not fabricated hardware.
