When the Board Looks Impossible, Call the Experts: ScanCAD Service Bureau Has You Covered.
Even the most experienced engineers hit a wall sometimes. You’re sitting in front of a densely-packed, multi-layer board—buried vias, micro-BGAs, exotic materials—and you’re wondering, “How am I going to get this reverse engineered?”
If you’ve got a ScanCAD system, you already have the most powerful PCB reverse engineering tool in the world at your fingertips. But for those boards that push the limits—when time, complexity, or sheer volume are too much—ScanCAD Service Bureau is here to help.
We aren’t just another service provider. We built the tools, defined the workflows, and created the PCB reverse engineering industry. Our team has decades of experience tackling boards that others simply won’t touch. Whether it’s legacy military hardware, next-gen aerospace designs, or ultra-compact medical devices, we’ve seen—and digitized—it all.
We Specialize in the Boards That Keep You Up at Night.
Our Service Bureau processes the kinds of boards that can make even seasoned engineers pause. Here’s just a sample of what we handle regularly:
- HDI (High-Density Interconnect) Boards
Multiple layers with microvias, buried and blind vias, and ultra-fine traces—no problem. - Flex and Rigid-Flex PCBs
Complex layouts with flexible materials and interwoven rigid sections? We’ve got the tools and expertise to accurately digitize and flatten them for CAD output. - Multi-Layer RF, Antennas and Microwave Boards
These designs demand extreme precision and understanding of high-frequency behaviors. We’ve reverse-engineered boards for aerospace, satellite, and defense systems. - Metal-Core and IMS (Insulated Metal Substrate) Boards
Heat-dissipating substrates require specialized handling—our systems and workflows are designed for it. - Via-in-Pad and Micro-BGA Designs
When trace visibility is nearly nonexistent, we apply decades of optical and analysis experience to extract what others miss. - Obsolete or Damaged Boards
Missing documentation? Physical damage? Our hybrid imaging and manual analysis techniques allow us to bring even partially destroyed designs back to life.
Need a Little Help—Or a Lot? We’ve Got You.
At ScanCAD, we know that no two projects—or engineers—are exactly alike. Sometimes you just need an expert to take over the whole job. Other times, you need a second set of eyes, a short-term boost, or targeted training to get you back on track. Whatever your situation, we’re here to support you in the way that makes the most sense for you.
Here’s how we can help beyond full project handoffs:
- Project-Based Consulting
Get expert guidance at any stage of your workflow—whether it’s file prep, imaging strategy, complex layer interpretation, or CAD validation. We’ve seen it all and can help you navigate tricky boards with confidence. - Auxiliary Training
Need a quick refresher or advanced tips for using your ScanCAD system on a particularly complex job? We offer custom training sessions tailored to your project and skill level—remote or on-site. - Hybrid Projects
Want to do part of the work in-house but outsource specific layers, subassemblies, or verification steps? No problem. We can work alongside your team to fill in the gaps. - Process Optimization
If you’re hitting repeated roadblocks, we can review your current workflow and suggest improvements to make your ScanCAD system work harder (and smarter) for you.
You Don’t Have to Go It Alone
In short: you don’t have to go it alone—and you don’t have to give it all away either. Whether it’s full-service reverse engineering or just the right nudge in the right direction, we’re here to make your job easier.
Whether you’re on a tight deadline, wrestling with an unfamiliar board technology, or just want peace of mind that the job will be done right the first time, ScanCAD Service Bureau is your partner.
As the creators of the original ScanCAD system and pioneers of the industry, we combine proprietary tools with unmatched expertise to deliver clean, ready-to-use CAD files that meet your specifications. No guesswork. No dead ends.
