FAQ

How quickly can I receive a quotation and prototype?

Turnaround times depend on project complexity, documentation quality and component availability. With our approach customers typically receive an initial quotation within 2-3 working days when complete project data is available. Depending on project requirements and material availability, first prototypes can often be delivered from 4 weeks onwards, enabling fast design validation and shorter development cycles.

When should manufacturing expertise be integrated into electronics development?

Manufacturing expertise should ideally be involved before the first layout concept. Early feedback on manufacturability, component selection and testing helps identify potential risks before they lead to delays, redesigns or additional costs.

What information is required to start an electronics prototyping project?

Most prototyping projects start with a bill of materials (BOM), Gerber or ODB++ data, assembly documentation and pick-and-place files. Complete and accurate project data enables faster reviews, sourcing and production planning, helping to avoid unnecessary delays.

How do I avoid costly redesigns after the first prototype?

The best way to avoid redesigns is to identify manufacturing, sourcing and testing risks early. Design-for-manufacturing (DfM) reviews and close collaboration between development and manufacturing teams help uncover potential issues before they become expensive changes.
