Loading 3D model… large boards can take a moment.
Four-layer PCB project expanding two USB ports from a computer into eight downstream ports. Designed in KiCad, conceptually based on the CircuitDigest (Original project: https://circuitdigest.com/electronic-circuits/diy-hub-port-extender) project, but extended to support two independent USB hub controllers.

KiCAD 3D board view:
This project is currently under development and PCBWay provided the prototype boards as part of a collaboration. The PCBs arrived with consistent manufacturing quality: clean routing, correct layer alignment, and accurate silkscreen.
The ordering workflow was straightforward. Uploading the Gerber files and selecting the manufacturing parameters was clear enough that the whole process stayed focused on the technical aspects of the design.
