Your Partner for Production-Ready Prototypes
Bring your product idea to life with prototypes built to transition seamlessly into full production.
Every great product starts with a prototype. The real challenge is turning your concept into a tangible, manufacturable electronic product. As part of the New Product Introduction (NPI) process, we work alongside you to refine your product design, validate functionality, and ensure the hardware meets the highest standards for usability and manufacturability.
You bring your vision. We bring cutting-edge technologies and decades of expertise in manufacturing working electronic prototypes, from PCB design and testing to component selection. If you’re looking to create not just a prototype but a launch-ready product, we’re the partner for you.
OUR CAPABILITIES
Our state-of-the-art SMT lines deliver precision and efficiency, making even the most intricate electronic prototyping projects possible. These capabilities are ideal for prototypes requiring compact systems, ensuring high-quality circuit design and reliability at every step.
When durability and robust connections matter, our through-hole PCB assembly capabilities shine. This process is critical for hardware in demanding environments, such as industrial automation or renewable energy devices, ensuring each unit performs consistently in real-world applications.
Our 85,000 sq. ft. facility allows us to handle intricate system architecture, including box builds, custom cable assemblies, and high-density PCB assemblies. Whether your prototype involves complex PCB design or requires integrating mechanical and electronic components, our flexible manufacturing space and advanced tools allow us to adapt to specialized configurations, high-mix, and low-to-mid volume builds.
We take electronics prototyping further with comprehensive in-house testing. Our services include dielectric testing, functional testing, and environmental stress testing to validate that your prototype meets the highest performance standards and is ready for full-scale manufacture.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Prototyping begins after the initial electronic prototype design phase, where your product idea is developed and basic specifications are outlined. While this step typically happens before partnering with us, we’re always happy to collaborate with your engineering team to refine your design and prepare it for prototyping.
The assembly process involves advanced SMT and through-hole PCB assembly techniques to place components on your circuit board accurately. These methods ensure precision and reliability, building the foundation for a high-quality, scalable prototype.
We conduct thorough DFM and DFT reviews to assess manufacturability and scalability. Any issues identified are adjusted to ensure your prototype can be efficiently produced and tested at scale, reducing potential delays in the production phase.
Your prototype undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets design specifications, functionality, and durability requirements. This includes stress testing, environmental testing, and functional testing to validate that the prototype performs reliably under real-world conditions.
Using insights from testing, we refine the prototype by adjusting the design and materials. Additional prototype versions may be created as needed, ensuring the prototype meets all usability, scalability, and system architecture requirements.
Once the prototype is validated, it moves into the approval stage. Final adjustments are made to the design, and the manufacturing team prepares materials, workflows, and processes to ensure a seamless transition to full-scale manufacturing.
