Prototyping
We have a team of specialised technicians specifically for
building small run or one-off designs. Our prototyping service is perfect
for engineers wishing to test their designs and need to know that the hardware
has been assembled in the best possible manner and conditions.
Our prototyping services encompass a broad range of skills and technologies, such as vapour phase for a guaranteed temperature profile, hand soldering of high complexity surface mount technologies or low volume SMT production.
All prototype builds receive a DFM report highlighting
any potential manufacturing improvements.
- Hand Assembled Prototypes – Suitable for small runs or analysing designs, our specialised team can build any board at a top quality standard.
- Low Volume SMT Production – An ideal test to evaluate your design for high volume production.
- Vapour Phase – A first class soldering method that ensures a guaranteed temperature profile – ideal for high complexity FPGA / BGA designs
In the design phase of a large run, running a sample board through our prototyping team can be a great opportunity to identify any 'design for manufacturability' issues – helping eliminate any difficulties or bottlenecks that could arise. See our 'design for manufacturability' section for more information.
