After you invest time in perfecting your PCB design, waiting weeks or even months for the manufactured version is likely not the outcome you desire. You need a fast turnaround time to start using your PCB as soon as possible.
Our quick turn PCB prototyping and assembly service delivers orders promptly while maintaining high quality. This service is ideal for saving both time and money, with lead times as short as 24 hours or even the same day. If speed is less critical, you can choose from other lead times, such as 48 or 72 hours.
We have an efficient response mechanism to expedite your order from quotation to delivery. Our entire fast-turn process is handled internally, ensuring smooth operations without outsourcing.
Benefits of Fast Turn PCB Assembly
Reduced Time to Market
Assembling your PCBs quickly allows you to bring your product to market much sooner. This can offer you a competitive edge and help you take advantage of timely market opportunities.
Faster Prototyping
Speed is critical in prototyping. Fast turn PCB assembly enables you to swiftly test and refine your designs, allowing for quicker modifications and improvements.
Enhanced Flexibility
With fast turn PCB assembly, your production schedule becomes more adaptable. You can promptly respond to changes in demand, adjust production capacity as needed, and seize new market opportunities.
Cost Savings
This approach can lead to significant cost savings. By shortening the time to market, you can start generating revenue sooner. Additionally, faster prototyping helps avoid costly design errors and rework.
Increased Customer Satisfaction
Fast turn PCB assembly helps you meet customer expectations by delivering high-quality products in a shorter timeframe. This can enhance your reputation for reliability and excellent customer service, fostering repeat business and referrals.
Quick-Turn PCB Prototyping Process
Submitting Your Design
You should submit your design files to the manufacturer for evaluation. This includes Gerber files, centroid files, and any specific requirements such as a bill of materials.
Ensuring Manufacturability
Before material selection, the manufacturer conducts a Design for Manufacturability (DFM) check. This verifies that your design can be produced efficiently, preventing potential production issues and ensuring a smooth manufacturing process.
Material Selection and Inventory Verification
At this stage, the manufacturer checks the inventory to ensure all necessary materials, including PCB components and substrates, are available.
Prototype Production
The manufacturer then uses advanced production techniques to rapidly produce and assemble the prototype according to your specifications.
Quality Assurance and Testing
Following production, rigorous quality control and testing commence. The manufacturer verifies that each PCB meets your specifications and functions effectively as a high-quality product.
Shipping and Delivery
Once the quality testing phase is complete, the prototypes are packaged and shipped to you. You then evaluate the prototype PCBs and provide any necessary feedback to the manufacturer.
