We assemble rush R&D boards in San Francisco in sub 48 hours. For production, we work with your existing contract manufacturers, and handle part sourcing, substitutions, and vendor back-and-forth.
Order Board NowWe'll figure out how to get them made.
01 / Rush R&D
Need a few boards fast?
We order the bare boards and parts right away. We'll usually place a JLC order as a fallback while we call U.S. fabs to see if anyone can get the boards to us faster. Once the boards and parts are here, we assemble runs under 5 boards in less than 48 hours.
02 / Production & Reorders
Ordering production boards?
We can order through JLC or work with whoever you already use. We place the orders, source the parts, deal with out-of-stock components and substitutions, answer manufacturer questions, follow up when something is late, and handle reorders.
If we actually need an engineering decision from you, we ask. Otherwise, we deal with it.
We assemble and inspect R&D boards at our ESD-safe shop in San Francisco.
Founders Samai and Nand make each board themselves. They are IPC-7711, IPC-7721, and IPC-A-610 certified. We do inspection, cleaning, and X-ray.
Production & reorders
Once you've ordered a board through Axal, we keep everything about that board. Next time you need 100 or 1,000 more, anyone on your team can just place the reorder in one click. We handle what comes up and only bring your engineer back in when we actually need an engineering decision.
01
We find a replacement. If we need your engineer to approve it, we ask once and save the answer so we don't have to ask again next time.
02
If JLC or your existing manufacturer has a question, something is missing, or the order is running late, we deal with them. We coordinate consigned parts, answer their questions, and follow up until it's resolved.
03
Anyone on your team can place the reorder in one click. If technical decisions come up we have context to continue the order without your engineer getting involved.

The next generation of drones, robots, medical devices, and hardware all start with PCBs. Somewhere along the way, getting those boards made became more complicated and transactional than it needs to be.
We're building Axal so you can have one team for your boards and work with us however you want. Call us, email us, order online, or let your software do it.
However you work, we'll get the boards made.
