PCB CAM Services | Front End Engineering
Argus Embedded Systems Pvt. Ltd. (AESPL) offers end-to-end, high-precision PCB CAM services through a dedicated front-end engineering team, ensuring your printed circuit board designs are fully optimized for smooth manufacturing. Our Gerber data processing services include comprehensive checks, validations, and modifications to meet design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for test (DFT) standards.
With a modern and automated CAM facility, we support a wide range of PCB technologies including single-layer, multilayer, HDI, rigid-flex, RF/microwave, and high-speed digital boards.
We offer 24-hour turnaround CAM services and overnight processing options for offshore clients, giving companies in the USA, UK, Europe, and APAC regions a clear time zone advantage. Our rapid response helps reduce project delays, accelerate NPI (New Product Introduction), and outpace the competition in time-sensitive environments.
Argus’s CAM outsourcing services not only reduce operational costs and staffing overheads but also ensure better yield, fewer fabrication errors, and faster time-to-market. We specialize in pre-production engineering tasks such as Gerber merging, panelization, netlist comparison, drill and route optimization, stack-up validation, and impedance calculation.
Our commitment to CAM file integrity and compliance ensures that your PCB files are checked for open circuits, short circuits, annular rings, solder mask clearance, silkscreen alignment, and all other critical fabrication parameters. We also provide manufacturing-ready output files including Gerbers, NC drill files, pick-and-place data, and assembly drawings customized to your fabricator’s specifications.
With years of experience in delivering CAM solutions to industries such as automotive, medical devices, defense electronics, consumer products, and industrial automation, Argus is a trusted partner for high-reliability and production-ready PCB front-end engineering services.
Why Choose Argus for PCB CAM Services? Because we combine speed, accuracy, and engineering insight to provide scalable CAM processing that meets global manufacturing standards and accelerates your product development lifecycle.
