Hey everyone,
I’ve recently gotten really interested in PCB design and manufacturing and want to explore the business side of things. As a software engineer, I’ve got a good handle on how machines and computers work, and I know a bit about electronics. But I’m looking to go deeper—learning not just how things function but also understanding the full design and manufacturing process.
Since many of you have experience here, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the best and quickest way to get up to speed. What mistakes should I avoid? How do I go from design to actual implementation? Any tips or resources would be awesome!
Thanks a ton!
If you want to start a PCB manufacturing business, I think it will be best to buy a CNC machine. However, if you are still a learner, start from making your schematic to desining your pcb layout first. proteus is the most convenient software for PCB designers. begineers can easily adopt this software because it is hessel-free. With only one software, you can make the schematic, simulate the circuit and also prepere the PCB layout. After preparing the layout, you can print the PCB at home using all the nesessary chemicals or get it done from a PCB manufacturing service. Here are some links that I feel will help you manufacture error-free PCBs.
