Rapid Prototyping

What Is Rapid Prototyping?

Rapid prototyping is the accelerated build of small-batch, production-quality PCBs and assemblies using agile DFM, quick-turn fabrication, and automated pick-and-place lines. Rapid prototyping helps validate schematics, layout, component viability, and functional performance within days.

Rapid prototyping helps you:

Turbo-charge design iteration: Build → test → refine loops fit inside a single sprint, trimming weeks off every board spin.
Confirm function, fit, and component selection early: Power-on prototypes validate circuitry, footprints, and mechanical interfaces before costly tooling is ordered.
Cut development spend: Early fault-finding means fewer late-stage re-spins, slashing non-recurring engineering costs and scrap.
Expose EMC/EMI issues while fixes are cheap: Prototype-level pre-compliance testing reveals radiated and conducted emissions long before the certification lab.
Strengthen DFM and testability: Real hardware highlights assembly constraints, thermal paths, and test-point access. This lets you optimise manufacturability from day one.
Keep the BOM agile: Fast builds allow you to trial alternate packages or second-source parts as supply or pricing may shift.
Boost stakeholder confidence: Tangible prototypes give clients, investors, and internal teams hands-on proof, which can help accelerate approvals and funding.

Your One-Stop Pre-Production Bridge

From electronic assembly and mechanical integration through to final box build, we ensure seamless NPI hand-off with the same lines and processes that scale prototypes into pilot volumes.

Our in-house quick-turn line delivers assembled prototypes in as little as 24 hours to 5 days to accelerate design validation.

Advanced SMT Capabilities

We can place parts down to 0201 passives and handle QFP, QFN, BGA, µBGA, and LGA packages with tight pitch accuracy.

Choose Your Own Procurement Models

Choosing how parts reach the line is as important as the PCB layout itself. At J-TEQ, we can assemble from your fully kitted “free-issue” components, handle full procurement on your behalf, or run a hybrid that mixes the two.

Consigned/Free-Issue Components

You supply every component—ICs, passives, connectors, hardware—already kitted, labelled, and counted. We focus purely on assembly and test. Ideal when you hold proprietary silicon, have pre-bought stock, or need absolute control of traceability.

Turnkey/Full Procurement

We source the entire bill of materials through our approved vendor list, which means we handle price negotiation, lead-time mitigation, and incoming inspection. You place one PO and receive fully built, tested boards. This is the fastest, lowest-touch route for most NPI programmes.

Partial Turnkey/Hybrid

You free-issue any hard-to-find, customer-specific, or IP-sensitive parts; we procure everything else. This hybrid model keeps critical items under your roof while letting our supply-chain team collapse overall lead time and manage the mundane line items.

Bring Electronic Products From Concept to Reality

When you partner with us at J-TEQ, each project is managed by a dedicated project team of our in-house experts from purchasing, engineering, and manufacturing departments.

With our proven track record of success and years of industry experience, we can handle even the most complex prototyping and pre-production requirements.
