Prototype PCB
Fast-turn boards built to validate a design before committing to a full production run.
Overview
Fast-turn boards built to validate a design before committing to a full production run.
Why it matters
Catching a routing or footprint error on a five-piece prototype costs far less than catching it after a production order ships.
Typical Applications
- Design validation ahead of production
- Engineering sample builds
- Iterative hardware development
- Low-volume specialty runs
Manufacturing Considerations
- Turnaround is usually prioritized over unit cost
- Prototype-stage process should still match production intent, or validation doesn't tell you much
- Small batch sizes affect panelization and setup cost per board
