How to get your own board made
ProfessionalYou can send your layouted PCB to a professional service that will produce an industrial-quality board. These will usually require your files in the industrial standard format "Gerber" or "RS-274X", which you can export directly from Fritzing. Fritzing FabFritzing Fab is our attempt at this, making it super-easy: Just upload your Fritzing file to http://fab.fritzing.org and get a fancy black-on-white board of your project. No strange parameters, top quality made in Germany, all at a good price. And as usual, all profit goes back into the further development of Fritzing. |
HomemadeThere are several techniques to produce a PCB on your own, requiring only a little bit of equipment. The most common one is an etching process, very similar to classic development of a photographic film. It's fun to do this, but be prepared to spend some time on perfecting the process.
