What Custom PCB Design Costs

PCB design projects are quoted based on layer count and routing complexity:

Board layer count (2-layer, 4-layer, or high-density 6+ layer boards)
Component density and presence of fine-pitch BGA or RF circuitry
Requirement of physical assembled prototypes delivered to your office
Fixed-scope PCB design packages delivered with complete Gerber packages and 3D CAD models.
