pcb manufacture - china
GlennSprigg:
I just found by chance, a video showing the whole process, (in 2018), of their PCB construction
plant for 'JLCPCB' in China. I was totally taken back by their technology & professionalism!! :)
The 'Narrator' stole the show from the Chinese girl, Lilly though!!...

I mostly order from Würth or LeitOn for Prototypes and sometimes from PCBWay when I want it cheap.
All three match my price/quality expectations.

FWIW, the boards look great.
Oddly, the resolution of the silkscreening is different on some boards, despite being produced in the same software (Altium) — some are much jaggier than others. Still legible though. Either way, 2mm tall TrueType text is a challenge to read. I’ll go bigger next time. :p
Absolutely no issues with manufacturing precision or anything. Everything that didn’t fit was our own fault. ;)

PCB Way are great for general purpose PCBs. Excellent service. www.pcbway.com
There is a really good manufacturer named King Credie in China. Excellent service and super cheap, by an English speaker there calling himself Zorro. They did some flex PCBs for me at a ridiculously low price. https://www.kingcredie.com/
In Taiwan, Speedy Circuits have the highest quality PCBs, use the best technology, but are a bit more costly. They will offer a Valor report by Mentor Graphics - this is very useful and most manufacturers don't offer this as Valor is very expensive software. Valor reports can mean the difference between a good PCB layout and the great PCB layout. They are no so speedy though, but very thorough. https://www.speedy-circuits.com.tw/
If you want to stay away from China and avoid Trumps taxes, try https://custompcb.com/. Good service, low prices, and reasonable capabilities... they are in Malaysia.

I got a 6-layer board made for JLCPCB - half Eurocard size and the cost was extremely competitive, I think it was £140 shipped for 5 PCBs. Quality excellent, no issues despite 5/5 mil tolerance and BGA design, excellent solderability, highly recommended.
