Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)
At PICA Manufacturing Solutions, we provide comprehensive printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing capabilities to support everything from early-stage prototypes to high-volume production. Our expertise spans rigid PCBs, flexible PCBs, and rigid-flex circuit boards, enabling us to meet the unique performance, space, and reliability demands of industries like medical devices, industrial automation, communications, wearables, and automotive systems. Whether your design calls for a single-layer board or a complex, multi-layer high-density interconnect (HDI) stack-up, PICA delivers precise, scalable PCB fabrication backed by stringent quality control and engineering support.
With deep experience in PCB design for manufacturability, we work closely with your team to optimize material selection, stack-up configuration, impedance control, and thermal management. Our PCB capabilities include advanced features such as microvias, controlled impedance, blind and buried vias, and fine-line circuitry for high-speed signal applications. From traditional FR-4 circuit boards to cutting-edge flexible substrates and hybrid builds, PICA is your trusted partner for delivering reliable, high-performance printed circuit boards that align with your product goals and timelines.
