# pcb.express | PCB quote calculator and Gerber pre-check

Upload your Gerber files and we'll detect the layer count and board size.

pcb.express is a PCB quote calculator and Gerber pre-check platform for electronics design teams. Compare options and costs for 2, 4 and 6 layer printed circuit boards, with quotes in Turkish or English.

## How it works

1. **Upload your Gerber files**: One .zip is enough. We recognise KiCad, Altium and Eagle exports, read the layers, size and holes, and draw your board in the browser.
2. **See the price and delivery date**: The price updates as you change options. We count business days and Turkish public holidays for the delivery date and show the arithmetic.
3. **Review the pre-check results**: We compare hole sizes, layer count and board size with your options. Fix any mismatch with one click, the price difference sits next to it.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is pcb.express?

pcb.express is a PCB quote calculator and Gerber pre-check platform developed by Takyon Ai Teknoloji Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. Prepare quotes for 2, 4 and 6 layer boards from your Gerber files and compare how manufacturing options affect cost.

### Which files should I upload?

Gerber (RS-274X) and Excellon drill files in a single .zip. We recognise KiCad, Altium and Eagle naming and read the layer count and size from the file.

### What does the price include?

The price includes manufacturing, electrical testing on every board, and shipping. The price you see is the price you pay.

### How is the delivery date calculated?

Standard and Express use business days and Turkish public holidays; Economy uses calendar days. We apply the 15:00 Turkey-time cut-off. The 'by' date and the step-by-step arithmetic sit next to the board.

### Does the pre-check approve my board for manufacturing?

No. Detected layers, dimensions and drill information are compared with your selections. The pre-check does not fully check trace/space, annular rings, edge clearance or solder mask. Run DRC in your design tool; manufacturing requires a separate file review.
