Proto vs. Production: What’s the Difference?
Prototype Printed Circuit Boards vs PCB Production
Deciding whether you need to order your printed circuit board as a prototype or as a production board is simply a matter of looking at the specs. Prototypes or “protos” are built within the guidelines of our established spec parameters. Production orders are built with strict adherence to your fabrication specifications.
Printed Circuit Board Quantity doesn’t matter. Advanced Circuits will make as few as one pcb as either a proto or production order. No order is too small for us!
PCB Quality is the same. All prototypes and production orders go through the same rigourous fabrication and quality check process.
Turnaround time is the same. We can produce your production order just as quickly as our prototypes, even creating them in one day if needed.
Order Proto if you require:"We never charge tooling on proto orders. In addition, when you re-order your proto and go to production, we waive the tooling charge again!"
