Recent Platform Enhancements

  • ITAR Compliance: MacroFab is now ITAR compliant, allowing us to securely handle projects subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations. This includes migrating our platform to a government cloud and implementing features to restrict access to sensitive data. This means you can tackle projects with peace of mind, knowing your data is secure.
  • Improved Design File Processing: We expanded the range of design files supported, improved our file processing engine to make file uploads quicker, and added support for automatically extracting components from more design file packages.
  • Your Parts, Your Project: Take control of your budget or use specific components by providing your own parts for assembly. Our platform now supports Customer Furnished Material (CFM) options.
  • Start with Bare PCBs: Test your layout concepts before committing to populated boards. Order custom (bare) PCBs through our platform for early in-house iterations.
  • Clearer PCB Workflow: Our PCB screen interface has gotten an upgrade! We've separated design checks into warnings and errors, making it easier to prioritize fixes. Initiate a quote without needing design files upfront.
  • Missing Data, No Problem: Don't let missing info slow you down. The platform now allows you to place orders even with incomplete data. Our support team will then work with you to fill in the gaps.
  • Streamlined Mechanical BOM Management: MacroFab now supports Mechanical Bills of Materials (MBOMs) directly within the platform. Create and manage MBOMs alongside your standard BOMs for a more holistic view of your project. Once created, MBOM items become readily available for use in future projects, simplifying re-orders and saving you time.
