PCB Design to Prototype – 5-Piece Sample Service
Overview
Before committing to volume production, every design should be validated with physical samples. Studio Electronics offers PCB Design to Prototype service with 5-piece sample delivery—providing you with functional boards for testing and confirmation before production begins. As a premier provider of PCB assembly in China, our professional PCB layout engineers design your board with DFM principles, then fabricate and assemble a small quantity of prototypes using our 12 automated SMT lines. Sample boards undergo comprehensive testing and are shipped to you for final approval, ensuring circuit board electrical performance is optimal before volume production.
5-Piece Sample Service – What You Receive
| Service Element | Our Delivery | What You Can Do |
|---|---|---|
| PCB Design | Schematic; layout; DFM-reviewed | Review and approve design |
| 5-10 Sample Boards | Fabricated and assembled prototypes | Functional testing; design validation |
| Test Reports | AOI; X-Ray; ICT; FCT results | Confirm electrical performance |
| Component Traceability | Component sourcing documentation | Verify component quality |
| Production Readiness | DFM-optimized design | Scale to volume with confidence |
Our 5-Piece Sample Service Process
Stage 1: Design Creation
Our engineers receive your product specifications and create a complete PCB design—schematic, component selection, and layout. DFM review ensures manufacturability.
Stage 2: Design Review
We verify the design against your functional requirements. Any potential issues are identified and resolved.
Stage 3: Prototype Fabrication
We fabricate 5-10 sample boards using our in-house fabrication capability. Board type, materials, and finishes are selected per your requirements.
Stage 4: Prototype Assembly
Sample boards are assembled on our 12 fully automated SMT lines. Components are placed with ±25μm accuracy. Automatic wave soldering and programmable soldering robots handle through-hole and mixed-technology components.
Stage 5: Comprehensive Testing
Every prototype undergoes AOI, X-Ray, ICT, and functional testing—100% coverage. Electrical performance is verified against specifications.
Stage 6: Sample Delivery
Prototype samples are carefully packaged in anti-static materials and shipped to you with test documentation and design files. You confirm performance before production.
Why 5-Piece Sample Service Matters
- Design Validation – Physical boards confirm design assumptions
- Risk Reduction – Catch issues before volume production
- Performance Confirmation – Electrical performance verified
- Customer Approval – Approval before production commitment
- Production Confidence – Validated design scales to production
- Low Volume Support – Perfect for low volume PCB assembly validation
Studio delivers PCB Design to Prototype—5-piece sample service with comprehensive validation before production.
