For high demand stuff, I go to?

Quick question, does any one know any fab that can do sub 75um (3 mils) on PCBs? (in case anyone has come across this)

Anything below 75um would probably be lithography based and very expensive but just wondering. (seems Sierra circuits and? Omni PCB are the only manufacturers with these capabilities)

Circuithub is the same concept. I like them too...Macrofab is cheaper, but for all I know....they are just producing the stuff overseas when it is no longer a prototype service. In all...I think this quoting process is the future of manufacturing.?

At my last job we used .? They take Kicad projects and build your BOM online which makes takes care of the parts problem pretty simply.? I can't say they're cheap or expensive, I don't have enough experience with short run manufacturers - I know when we looked at real production quantities they were more expensive than traditional assembly houses.? I live near Boston and there are still a decent number of smaller contract manufacturers who are very good for production.

Their online tools are good, now that they support Kicad again (they were caught unaware with the 4 to 5 file format changes.)? I've loaded boards there and used their component selection tool just to create my initial AVL, their lead time tool makes it pretty easy to tune cost versus delivery.? For my projects they, and everyone I checked with, were too expensive for me to justify for hobby boards.
