Ways To Decrease The Cost Of PCB Prototype Production
Producing electronic product prototypes includes PCB design and PCB assembly and is an important step when launching new products. Depending on how far evolved your design is, there is a high risk of costly errors. I will give some pointers about eliminating common mistakes and how to reduce time to market and cost when manufacturing samples.
As soon as you have finished your product and PCB design, you want to get started building prototypes before you commit to high assembly volume. Numerous design software packages such as PCB layout design software and industrial design software come with simulation capabilities built in. Running simulations will take some extra time. However, the results often will expose errors in your design. Minimizing the amount of errors in your design will simplify achieving the required performance of your prototypes more rapidly plus in the end save you time.
If you are designing a difficult product, you might want to think about a modular design in which all of the main features are placed in separate modules. During your testing, you can then replace modules which do not meet the design constraints. Swapping a single module will be rather cost effective. Moreover, performance characterization of modules will be quicker than characterizing the whole design.
PCB components are normally assembled manually during the sample phase even though this method is time consuming. To get better-quality boards and to avoid problems with particular components which are difficult to mount consider subcontracting the prototype manufacturing. That might also save you some time.
You should look for a subcontractor that has a small setup cost because this cost will dominate the total cost in case of small-quantity runs. Sample PCB suppliers normally mix the circuit boards of several customers which effectively shares the setup expense amongst numerous customers. The downside is that you will typically only be able to select amongst a number of normal PCB material thicknesses and sizes.
Seek to select a vendor that not only has low setup expenses but also can do full-quantity production runs. Specialized prototype assemblers might not be equipped to take on larger volume production. This has the benefit of simplifying the migration between prototype and final product. This way your design is already translated into the exact machine data which means little or no setup cost for your final assembly.
A PCB contract vendor that in addition provides PCB design services will be able to aid you in the design procedure and also be able to much more effortlessly resolve design-related problems.
A problem with small-quantity assembly runs is purchasing of PCB components. Most components vendors will charge ship fees and have minimum order volume constraints for certain components. Furthermore, dealing with a small quantity of components is a problem in case of surface mount assembly because components will be mounted from SMT feeders. Some suppliers carry stock of commonly used SMT parts that you can purchase which will save you the time of purchasing these parts yourself and also eliminates wasting unused components.
If you picked a manufacturer that also does the finished product manufacturing, you will not only reduce time to market but also ensure that circuit boards that are found to be defective during the final examination can be fixed much more rapidly. Make certain you can without difficulty and efficiently communicate with your supplier. Also, be sure that your vendor can identify with your issues. This ability will be crucial in eliminating costly delays and errors of the PCB assembly and final product assembly.
