Manufacturer matching
From design validation to final supplier selection, our manufacturer matching service streamlines your entire PCB procurement journey – connecting you with the perfect production partner while optimizing your design for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
A complete end-to-end procurement solution
The traditional PCB procurement process is fragmented and inefficient, involving multiple stakeholders and complex decision points. copperdot transforms this into a seamless experience by managing four critical phases that bridge the gap between your design and production:
1. Design validation
Before entering the procurement cycle, our experts thoroughly analyze your PCB design to ensure manufacturability.
- Comprehensive review of Gerber files and BOM documentation
- Technical specification verification
- Preliminary manufacturability assessment
- Identification of potential design challenges
- Validation of compliance with industry standards
This initial step prevents costly delays and ensures your design is production-ready before engaging with manufacturers.
2. Strategic supplier identification
Once your design is validated, we leverage Bosch’s extensive network to identify the optimal manufacturing partners for you.
- Analysis of your specific technical requirements against our pre-qualified manufacturer network
- Evaluation of manufacturers based on specialized capabilities and technology focus
- Assessment of production capacity and scheduling availability
- Matching of geographical and logistical preferences
- Recommendation of manufacturer with proven track records in your specific PCB type
Our systematic identification process ensures only manufacturers with the precise capabilities for your project are considered.
3. Comprehensive DFM review
Our Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review optimizes your PCB design to maximize quality while minimizing costs.
- Detailed analysis of trace width, pad sizes, and layer stackup
- Material selection optimization for performance and cost-efficiency
- Identification of cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality
- Collaborative refinement with both you and potential manufacturers
- Final design adjustments to ensure alignment with production capabilities
This collaborative approach ensures your design is perfectly aligned with manufacturing processes before production decisions.
4. Data-driven supplier selection
In the final phase our experts deliver a transparent solution of best fitting manufacturers.
- Side-by-side comparison of qualified vendor proposals
- Detailed assessment of pricing, lead times, and quality specifications
- Evaluation of technical capabilities for your specific requirements
- Internal approval workflows to ensure compliance with your organization’s standards
- Final recommendation of the best matching manufacturer
This comprehensive selection process eliminates guesswork and ensures decisions are based on quantifiable data and expert analysis.
