Luciano,
Checkout the following vendors:
PCB123: www.pcb123.com
PCB Express www.pcbexpress.com
Both vendors offer a fairly cheap and quick turnaround on boards. You
will need to use their software which is fairly simple and
straightforward to use. They accept gerbers but for quick prototypes
using their software will allow you to create a library which you can
reuse for later courses. It will help by adding continuity to future
courses. If you conform to their existing PCB templates you can get on
their manufacturing shuttle (something akin to what we run at large
Semiconductor foundries) which gets you your parts cheaper. Adding
solder mask and silk screen is also optional. You can experiment with
that when teaching your students about how it would affect the microwave
properties with and without solder mask. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Vipul Badoni.

Luciano,
look at
http://www.platinenbelichter.de/english/
They do one-offs without much added cost, and have reasonable shipping
pricing as well (they only quote shipping to German speaking countries
on
their website, but when I asked about shipping to California - where I
live - they quoted Euro 6.50 for a single board). I'm not sure they take
Gerbers but it doesn't cost anything to ask. They can do drilling but no
plated vias.

[SI-LIST] PCB Advise
All,
I teach a microwave class for undergrads and I have the opportunity to
support a project whereby my student can design, fabricate, and test a
simple distributed circuit. The idea is to give them some hands-on
experience on microwave circuit and measurement. The plan is for each
student to use ADS and generate a Gerber file for the vendor. To keep
things
simple, the FR4 would only have top/bottom copper layer, if possible
without
vias.
This is my question: can you suggest the name of a vendor that can
support
fabrication of individual PCBs at competitive prices?
I have never interfaced directly with vendors and I do not have a sense
of
who can do a good job for me. Also, my challenge is to fabricate
individual
PCBs (7 to be precise) rather than 10's or 100's copies of the same
layout.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Regards,
Luciano
