Copper Wave, Inc. is a Printed Circuit Board Design company dedicated to “getting it right the first time." We are a full-service design firm specializing in PCB layout.

Our mission is to provide the highest quality PCB Design Services to our clients.

We take great pride in enabling our clients to succeed in their target markets because we have seen that when our clients succeed, they return to us for more high quality PCB Design Services. It’s a winning combination.

Copper Wave is based in the Research Triangle Park (RTP) region of North Carolina. Framed by three major universities, the RTP is home to several major electronics corporations as well as many dozens of small-to-mid-sized companies engaged in electronic design. It is from this dynamic area that we proudly serve clients all over the USA.

What about our name?

At Copper Wave, we have a slightly different view of what is driving the Information Age. Many people say the silicon chip, radio frequency transmission, or fiber optics are the inventions that are enabling the Communications Revolution. This may be true, but what enables all electronic components to be connected to each other to create these amazing devices that enhance our lives are the copper conductors on a printed circuit board.

Just think about it. We are surrounded by billions of miles of copper traces on PCBs everywhere; personal computers, network servers, communications devices of all kinds, electronics in our cars, offices and homes, even medical devices in our bodies. From a historical point of view, we are riding along these breakthrough centuries on a wave of copper—a Copper Wave!
