Shax Engineering manufacture complex and technologically advanced multi-layer, quick turn prototyping and New Product Introduction (NPI) printed circuit boards. Prototypes and short run printed circuit boards are  quickly produced to meet engineers and designers quick turn around. NPI fabrication is intending to enable original equipment manufacturer and R&D companies to meet their time-to-market requirements. In addition, we established manufacturing process that support a seamless transition to volume production.

Shax Engineering PCB fabrication incorporates design for manufacturability (DFM) concepts that enable our customers to improve their productivity and maximize profitability. All PCB designs will be reviewed and analyze to ensure conformance with the manufacturing specifications as well as standards. Furthermore, our automated PCB fabrication process is designed to help our customers reduce cost, improve quality and overall yield.
