Custom Circuit Board Design and Fabrication

Achieve your business objectives with a circuit board design that is tailored for your needs. FORTÉ DESIGNS in Longmont, Colorado offers high frequency circuit board design and outsourced fabrication of the finished PCB to produce a high-level package with the specific features your requirements.
 

Flexible or Rigid Board Designs

We are able to tailor your design to use one of a variety of base materials thus allowing you to choose between flexible (polyimide), rigid woven glass (FR4, RO4350, …), or even ceramic substrates. Whatever material is chosen, we will always provide you with a complete schematic and finished layout of the design that’s ready for fabrication.

Affordable Solutions

There is no single best way to design a system, but we can help you create an affordable design that will meet your financial constraints. Our quotations will always include the design costs of the schematic and PCB layout, and we can also include the costs to fabricate and assemble a prototype run of units.

 

Ethics in Design and Consulting

We don't reverse engineer existing products, but we are capable of designing an equivalent product that will meet or exceed the performance of an existing design.  If desired, we can also give you a straightforward comparison of the design of your module versus that of a competitor.
