On-demand circuit board assembly
Rapid, low cost manufacturing
for fast moving robotics companies.
We assemble circuit boards on demand for:
Get your PCB prototypes from design to delivery in weeks days with CircuitHub's automated, on-demand manufacturing.
Low cost prototype and batch production.
Traditional manufacturers have to charge high prices for prototypes and low volume batch production due to lack of automation.
CircuitHub achieves economical on-demand production at low volumes through a technical breakthrough that flattens the price curve.
3 day full turnkey fab and assembly by default. Made in the USA
Traditional manufacturers have to charge high prices for speed due to lack of automation.
CircuitHub ships 81% of full turnkey orders within 3 days as standard, enabling rapid prototyping and on-demand small batch production.
Reliable delivery times and consistently high quality.
The quality of service provided by a contract manufacturer is critical. But without any public data you are left guessing as to the quality of service you'll receive from them.
Traditional manufacturers leave you guessing as to the quality of service you'll receive from them.
CircuitHub is the first in the industry to publish key performance indicators in real-time.
This radical transparency is the right thing to do for our customers. By taking this step our goal is to lead the way for the entire industry.
Andrew Seddon
CEO at CircuitHub
35K+ common parts in shared inventory.
We also stock your unique parts for you.
Traditional manufacturers do not stock common parts or make it easy to manage your key parts in inventory
CircuitHub allows you to easily manage an inventory of custom parts or pull from our shared common parts.
Get to market in half the time
Low price and rapid turnaround enables frequent design iteration and agile small batch manufacturing. Rapidly iterate on prototypes with reduced upfront design time. Gradually scale into production without capital intensive large production runs.

What our customers say
We have relied on Circuithub for our prototyping needs since 2015. Native CAD file handling, instant online quoting, short lead times, and excellent customer support all make it possible for us to spend less time on getting prototypes made and more time on engineering.
Jon Evans
Electrical Engineering Manager
We’ve been using CircuitHub for PCB assembly for the last five years and the quality, prices, and ease-of-use have not faltered from single prototypes to production runs of thousands of boards. It’s been a huge enabler for our business
Rustom Jehangir
Founder and CEO
We use CircuitHub PCB assemblies in our robots and their commitment to quality and responsive customer support is why we rely on them for key parts. Their instant quote interface also allows us to make production decisions quickly, which speeds up our production and prototyping processes.
Thomas Nadovich
Director of Engineering
I use CircuitHub for my personal projects and have always found them really great to work with.
Alex Maslin
By far the best fab and assembly house I have used. The ease of placing an order from their automated webpage is best part of working with them. Other fab houses takes days to just get a quote. I can get a quote and place an order here within 24 hours. fantastic!! Even the prices are 20-30% less than the big fab houses in Colorado and silicon valley.
Raghu Tumati
I like the idea and the value that CircuitHub is providing - rapid prototyping and on-demand production for assembled circuit boards to save time and hassle. Engineers find it useful to securely upload their Altium, EAGLE, or KiCAD design directly to the CircuitHub platform. Would recommend this to the engineers in my network. I've had a brief interaction and the team is super supportive and responsive.

We have been using CircuitHub for several years. They have always been professional, helpful, and delivered high quality products. We highly recommend CircuitHub.
Christian Sigge Steiniche
As an Electronics Engineer at a small business, we have used CircuitHub for both small batch prototypes and production quality scale. Every time they have delivered prompt and high quality assembled PCBs.
Matt Dye
Excellent attention to detail, high quality fabrication, clear communication, easy to use ticketing system, and... NO emailing .zip files back and forth! We've used CircuitHub for years and will continue to do so for many more. 🤘

Nick Anthony
I found CircuitHub at a time when we unexpectedly lost our long time supplier for PCBA. They have consistently met our price expectations and have a turnaround that is unbeatable. I get my boards back before other suppliers can return a quotation. I appreciate all the great work!
Spencer Linton
Absolutely wonderful to work with. They go the extra step to listen and try to figure out better ways, unlike other manufactures that think their way is the only way and are never wrong.
Kevin Henderson
We have now been working with CircuitHub for many years and they continue to deliver outstanding results. They respond quickly, provide detailed project consultations, and all of their boards are of top-quality.
