CAD / PCB Design
CAD and layout design is becoming more and more technically demanding as product dimensions become smaller and smaller and functional and non-functional requirements increase. New technologies are being used and make certain outlines possible in the first place. Special requirements in the areas of EMC, functional safety or explosion protection are making the task even tougher.
MESCO offers professional CAD service in the creation of CAD design and layout on various systems, customer-specific production documentation, material organization and component cost calculation as well as coordination with external PCB manufacturers and support of the production process.
In our projects, we work in accordance with the IPC-2221 IPC-2222 IPC-600 IPC-610 DIN ISO 2768-1 standards.
Thanks to efficient cooperation between CAD designers and MESCO development engineers, it is possible to successfully master critical CAD projects without the need for redesign phases, thus enabling short project lead times.
In the area of CAD/PCB design, MESCO is also available as a service provider directly at your company.
Our services in the field of CAD and PCB design:
- Space studies / feasibility studies
- Professional creation of circuit diagrams, layouts and documentation for further processing in PCB production or assembly production
- Experience in secure access to customer component libraries / databases
- CAD creation on the system provided by the customer (optional)
- Special consideration of EMC, explosion protection or functional safety standards
- Optimization with regard to production costs and available space

PCB layout design from MESCO
The design of printed circuit boards, also known as PCB layout design, is an essential step in the development of electronic devices. It involves the creative process of arranging electronic components on a circuit board and planning the connections between these components. MESCO also has many years of experience and extensive know-how in this area. Our range of services includes the following:
- PCB layout design directly from the schematic / data carrier
- PCB layout design from the developer’s sketch
- CAD layout: interactive
- Elaboration of design or specification
- EMC-compliant design
- High-speed design
- Double-layer PCBs
- Multilayer PCBs
- Flex PCBs
- Rigid-flex printed circuit boards
- HDI printed circuit boards
- SMD technology
- BGA/μBGA technology
- Blind-and-buried via technology
- Microvia technology
- Fine and ultra-fine conductor technology
- Embedded components, components integrated in the layout
- Impedance-controlled cables
- Twisted pair / differential pair
The printed circuit boards are manufactured by external service providers. MESCO will coordinate with the service providers and manage the PCB production process for you. The file formats we currently use are Gerber / Extended Gerber (RS-274-X) and ODB++.
