<description language="en">MacroFab 2-layer design rules (standard process)

Min trace width: 0.127 mm (5.0 mil) - standard manufacturing specifications
Min spacing: 0.127 mm (5.0 mil) - standard manufacturing specifications
Min drill: 0.3048 mm (12.0 mil)
Min via: 0.3048 mm hole
Board thickness options: 1.6 mm
Copper weight options: 0.5 oz, 1 oz
Surface finishes: ENIG
Max board size: 378.46 x 378.46 mm

Standard (default, non-extended) manufacturing specifications per MacroFab help article: minimum trace width 5 mil, minimum drill 12 mil; page notes the standard tier was later reduced (5 mil spacing, 10 mil drill announced December 2018) but the help article body was only visible via search index, not fully readable on load.
