Quick-turn PCB prototypes are a timely solution for companies who require PCB models before the final manufacturing process. With the ability to produce a prototype within a specific timeframe, this option gives manufacturers time to analyze the product and make improvements before fabrication.

If these prototypes are something your plant requires, here are four key factors to know about quick-turn PCB prototypes.

Save on Resources

Time, money, and energy are precious resources for any manufacturing facility, including those that fabricate printed circuit boards. Creating a prototype enables manufacturers to save on these resources during the turnkey printed circuit board fabrication process.

Time: Because PCB prototypes are created quickly by assemblers who have plentiful experience in the fabrication process, manufacturers enjoy more time to

• Scrutinize and improve their PCB model before production
• Focus on other business aspects that are demanding their attention

Money: Since PCB models are fabricated quickly, manufacturers save on production costs. Additionally, because companies have the ability to make critical changes before final fabrication, costs are saved on final PCB remakes.

Energy: As mentioned above, PCB prototypes give manufacturers the opportunity to make changes and improvements to a model before creating the final product. This saves companies precious energy involved in the fabrication process.

Avoid Delays

Quick-turn PCB models spare customers and manufacturers alike from delays in the production process. In the same vein as our energy-saving point, the design of PCB prototypes can be evaluated before a final order is placed. Additionally, customers don’t have to wait for the design to be verified or clarified.

Personal Service

Because of the ability to look over the prototype before final production, customers and manufacturers enjoy added communication with PCB engineers and technicians. Additionally, customers can call for assistance with design specifications.

More Options

Options are an important aspect for companies to consider in a PCB. Established PCB production companies have everything needed to create a high-quality, custom product. These firms can meet unique needs related to production, tooling, shape, and size.
