Frequently Asked Questions

Scalar Manufacturing a broker?
    No.  When Scalar Manufacturing cannot offer a service in-house, you will pay the manufacturer directly.  You do not pay Scalar Manufacturing for work not performed by Scalar Manufacturing.


What region do you cover?
    Most of our customers are in California.  Manufacturing services are offered to anyone in the United States.  Engineering services are offered globally.

What if I am not in your region, but want more information about your services?
    Please contact us anyway.  We will discuss your need with you, and then direct you to the representative for your region.

Do you focus on "high mix, low volume" customers?
    No.  Your volume can be high or low, your mix can be high or low.  Hence our homepage - the velocity you need.

What happened to the old Scalar Manufacturing?
    We have expanded beyond circuit boards, and so our website had expanded as well.

Can you offer design services?
    At this time, we offer PCB layout, with the client providing the BOM and schematic.

I don't have a PCB design software but I don't want to pay for design services.  What can I do?
    Our first recommendation would be to visit our Software and Tools page.  On a case-by-case basis, and if the board is simple enough (typically 4 layers or less with standard material, but case-by-case), we can do fab and design for the price of fab only.

What is your standard turn time?
    Turn time is case-specific.  For quick-turn printed circuit boards, our standard turn time is 5 days and our fastest leadtime is 12 hours.

Do you do flex?
    Yes.

How about rigid-flex?
    We offer rigid-flex in the same way that we offer flex.
