PCB Prototyping Services

PCB prototyping is not the same as regular PCB manufacturing and is often referred to as PCB sampling. The prototyping process increases operational costs, which is why many PCB manufacturers do not offer this service. However, at Amission Tech, we provide PCB prototyping services for FR4 PCB , Ceramic PCBs, MCPCBs, HDI PCBs, Heavy copper PCBs, High TG PCBs, RF PCBs, and more. If you have any questions about our PCB services, please feel free to contact us.

Why Use PCB Prototyping?

PCB prototypes are essential for students, electronic designers, or custom productions that require only a few PCBs—usually fewer than ten for testing purposes. While most PCB factories prefer mass production, no mass production can begin without first testing a PCB prototype. When developing a new product with a new design, companies need to test the design to ensure its functionality.

Fast PCB Prototyping

Most PCB prototypes need to be completed quickly because customers require them for immediate testing. Therefore, we offer fast PCB prototyping services to meet these needs. Many customers don't understand why the lead time is the same for ordering 1 PCB as it is for 100 PCBs. The reason is that producing 1 PCB involves the same processes as producing 100 PCBs, such as drilling, etching, and applying solder mask. Regardless of the quantity, the manufacturing steps and time required are similar if the board size is not very large.

PCB Prototype Unit Cost

Some electronic designers complain that the unit cost for PCB prototypes is significantly higher than for mass production. As mentioned earlier, the prototyping process involves all the standard manufacturing steps, leading to unavoidable fixed costs such as time and labor.

What Makes a Good PCB Prototype Service?

When seeking PCB prototyping services from a manufacturer, quality and price are essential factors. Additionally, you need a fast prototyping service if you wish to test your PCB as soon as possible, making lead time a critical factor. If you require PCB, electronic components, and PCB assembly services, it is beneficial to opt for a turnkey or one-stop PCB assembly service. A good PCB prototyping supplier should offer fast lead times and comprehensive services.
