01
Upload Nearly Anything

Your Files.
Any Format.

Most EMS quoting workflows start with a form: dozens of fields, dropdown menus, and a wait for someone to call you back. MacroFab's FabIQ platform starts with a file upload and ends with a ready-to-order quote.

Native EDA project files, ODB++, Gerbers, BOM spreadsheets in Excel or CSV, PDF stackup specs — FabIQ parses all of them and automatically extracts the information needed for accurate pricing. No re-entry, no guesswork, no back-and-forth.

Native EDA formats — Altium, KiCad, Eagle, Cadence, and more parsed automatically
ODB++ and Gerber — fabrication-ready file formats supported natively
BOM ingestion — Excel and CSV BOMs imported and normalized to our parts database
Instant quote — detailed, itemized pricing in minutes, not days

Solve Sourcing Issues

Supply Chain
Clarity, Built In.

Component availability, pricing, and lead times change every day. FabIQ connects your BOM to live distributor data so you always have an accurate picture of what your build actually costs — at the moment you need it.

When a part is out of stock or at-risk, FabIQ surfaces form-fit-function alternatives with full spec comparisons so you can make a confident substitution decision without leaving the platform. Beyond simple availability, FabIQ shows you full tariff impact by component and labor cost contribution at volume — the information procurement needs, delivered automatically alongside engineering's design.

Live distributor pricing — real-time availability from Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow, and more
Smart alternates — FFF substitution recommendations with side-by-side spec comparison
Tariff impact analysis — full landed cost visibility at the component level
Labor at volume — per-unit assembly cost contribution shown alongside material costs

Fix Issues Before
Production Starts.

Every respin costs time and money. FabIQ's automated DRC and DFM engine analyzes your design files the moment they're uploaded, surfacing production-blocking issues and cost-driving inefficiencies before you place an order.

This isn't a generic rules check. FabIQ understands the specific manufacturing process your board will go through and flags issues in that context — clearances, trace widths, pad geometries, assembly-facing DFM rules, and more. Identified issues are annotated directly on your board view so your team can navigate and resolve them without switching tools.

Real-time DRC — design rule violations flagged during upload, not after review
Manufacturability feedback — process-aware DFM rules matched to your build spec
Cost impact flagging — design choices that drive cost are identified and explained
Annotated board view — issues mapped to exact board locations, no separate viewer required

Track Orders

Full Visibility,
Every Step.

Once an order is placed, visibility shouldn't disappear. MacroFab's platform tracks every stage of your build — from design review and component procurement through manufacturing, test, and shipment — with real-time status updates throughout.

No more 'checking in' emails to your rep. Your order status, quality milestones, and estimated delivery are surfaced in the platform the moment they update. Your team — engineering, ops, and procurement — all have the same picture.

Stage-by-stage tracking — design review, sourcing, manufacturing, test, and shipment
Real-time updates — status changes reflected immediately, no polling required
Quality milestones — inspection and test results visible as they're completed
Team-wide visibility — one order view accessible to engineering and procurement simultaneously

Track Changes

Every Revision.
Full Audit Trail.

Hardware programs run multiple revisions. MacroFab logs every change to a design — what changed, who made it, and when — with the context needed to understand why. Nothing gets lost between prototype and production.

Compare any two orders of the same PCB side by side: component changes, quantity deltas, spec modifications, sourcing decisions. Engineering gets a clear audit trail. Procurement gets the full picture of cost drivers across revisions. And when something breaks in production, your team can trace it back to the exact change that introduced it.

Itemized change log — every modification recorded with user, timestamp, and context
Side-by-side order comparison — diff any two orders of the same board
Cross-revision cost visibility — see how design changes drive cost from rev to rev
Prototype-to-production continuity — full history from first build to production ramp

Price, Plan & Scale

From Prototype
to Production.

MacroFab shows you pricing at every volume — not just the quantity you're ordering today. Whether you're planning a production ramp or modeling cost at scale, the platform surfaces per-unit cost curves, supply chain risk by volume, and sourcing sensitivity as a first-class view alongside your quote.

Collaboration between engineering and procurement is built in. Share quotes, annotate sourcing decisions, and hand off production-ready specs without leaving the platform. One tool from your first prototype to your thousandth production run — no contracts, no commitments, just capacity on demand.

Volume pricing curves — per-unit cost at any quantity, automatically calculated
Supply chain risk at scale — component availability risk modeled across your planned volumes
Eng & procurement collaboration — shared quote views with annotation and handoff tools
No contracts, no minimums — order on demand, prototype or production, whenever you need

FAQ

Common Questions

What file formats does MacroFab accept for PCB assembly quotes?
MacroFab's platform accepts native EDA project files, ODB++, Gerber files, and BOM spreadsheets in Excel or CSV format. Files are parsed automatically — no manual re-entry required.
How quickly can I get a PCB assembly quote?
MacroFab's platform generates detailed, itemized quotes in minutes after file upload. Most customers go from upload to a ready-to-order quote in under 15 minutes, without speaking to a salesperson.
Does MacroFab support both prototype and production PCB assembly?
Yes. MacroFab handles the full range from single-unit prototypes through high-volume production runs. Pricing at every volume tier is shown alongside your quote so you can plan a production ramp from day one.
Is MacroFab ITAR registered?
Yes. MacroFab operates ITAR-registered manufacturing facilities in the United States, supporting defense, aerospace, and other programs with controlled technical data requirements.
What does MacroFab's DFM analysis check for?
FabIQ's automated DRC and DFM engine analyzes your design files against the specific manufacturing process your board will go through. It flags design rule violations, clearance and trace width issues, pad geometry problems, and assembly-facing DFM rules — annotated directly on your board view.
How does MacroFab handle component sourcing and supply chain risk?
MacroFab's platform connects your BOM to live pricing and availability from all major US stocking distributors. When a part is at risk, FabIQ surfaces form-fit-function alternates with side-by-side spec comparisons. Tariff impact is shown at the component level so procurement has full landed cost visibility.
Are there minimum order quantities?
No. MacroFab has no minimum order quantities or long-term contracts. You can order a single prototype or a full production run on demand.
