Rapid Prototyping

Same Lead Time.
Different Outcome.

Component lead times and costs are often the same wherever you build. What happens around them is not. Across two manufacturing sites — 4 SMT pick-and-place lines and 3 selective soldering lines — backed by our own in house developed MRP assisted procurement system, we keep you in the decision on every part, every substitution, every build. Minimising freight risk and IP exposures offshore.

The Real Difference

Lead Time Isn’t The Variable. Control Is.

Wherever your board is built, component availability is often the same constraint. What changes is what happens when something runs short. When a part isn’t available, we call you. We work through alternatives together, part by part, and nothing changes without your approval.

Build offshore and that decision is often made for you — quietly, and weeks before you find out. By the time you know, the board is already built.

What You Actually Get

Built Around Control, Not Just Speed

Every capability below happens in-house, under our certified quality management system — starting from your very first build.

Test Before You Commit

First Article Inspection

Before you commit to a full prototype run, we can produce a single first-article unit and hold the line while you test it — often at no additional cost. If something needs to change, it’s caught before the rest of the prototype batch is built, not after you’ve already paid for it.

We Call You, Not Around You

When a part isn’t available, we call. Alternatives are found and approved together, part by part — never substituted without your sign-off. Build offshore and that decision is often made for you, quietly.

Smart Sourcing Approved Substitutions Only
Quality Assurance

Certified From Day One

AS9100D quality records begin at your first prototype build, not bolted on once production starts. Most fast-turnaround prototype houses can’t say the same.

Onshore IP

Your design stays in control, inside our process. Pre-production is when IP is most exposed.

Logistics

Limit Freight Risk

No customs delays on completed product, no transit damage, no time-zone lag waiting on a decision that affects your build. Every offshore iteration that you insert adds a freight cycle a local build doesn’t carry.

Watch Your Build, Not Just Wait For It

Live stock and delivery status on every component, production stage updates straight from our MES, and full unit traceability with batch tracking from your first article onward.

From First Build To Volume

One Partner, The Whole Way Through

Most prototypes need more than one build. Here’s what happens on each side of an issue — and the partnership that carries you from first article to production.

01

Design

Early input on DFM, component selection and certification pathway — before the first board is ordered.

02

Prototype & First Article

Fast turnaround with full procurement collaboration. We can hold the line on a single first-article unit while you test it, often at no additional cost. AS9100D quality records start here, not at production.

03

Issue? We Call, You Approve

If a part runs short or something needs to change, we call you directly. Alternatives are found and approved together — rebuilt and delivered in days, not the weeks a freight-and-customs cycle adds offshore.

04

Pilot

Process validation at production-representative volume, on the same lines that will build your volume order.

05

Production

Same site, same process, same quality record. No re-qualification, no rediscovery, no surprises.

QC Connect

Direct Visibility Into Your Build

Not just a status headline — the detail behind it. No chasing emails, no guessing where things are.

Live Stock & Delivery

Real-time stock status and inbound shipment tracking for every component in your build, pulled directly from our ERP.

Production Status, Live

See exactly where your prototype sits on the line — updated directly from our MES, not a weekly email.

Full Traceability

Unit-level traceability with batch tracking on every part used, starting from your first article.

Quality Management

Built To The Highest Standards

Our quality management system isn’t a box-ticking exercise; it’s how we build. Every process, every product, every time — including your prototype.

AS9100
Aerospace Quality Management System certification, applied from your very first prototype build, not just at production.
ISO9001
Our ISO9001 certification underpins consistent quality delivery across all product types, ensuring repeatable processes and documented controls.
IPC Standards
All PCBA workmanship is performed and inspected to IPC class standards, giving you confidence from your first article onward.
Full Traceability
Aerospace-level component traceability through our custom ERP/MES, including Certificate of Conformance and complete audit trails.
ISO14001
Built to the highest standards extends to how we operate. Our ISO14001 certification reflects a structured commitment to environmental management across every site — from energy use to waste reduction.
