Printed circuit board prototype

RUSH PCB is familiar with all aspects of PCB prototyping. Let the engineers at RUSH PCB work with you on the engineering and design of your printed circuit board. RUSH PCB provides you easiest and fastest way to get your prototypes in incredible prices.

Prototyping is the process of testing out new idea by creating an introductory model from which other models are create or copy, and it is one of the most common uses for breadboards. If someone is not sure how a circuit will work under a given set of parameters, it is best to build a prototype and test it out.

The main idea is here to build an actual circuit to a theoretical design to verify that it works, and to provide a physical platform for debugging it if it does not. The prototype is performe by different techniques like bread board. This PCB prototype is construct base on current requirements and gives function of actual circuit.

For college and university students PCB prototypes are best place to start learning electronics and circuits. The PCB prototype is usually not complete circuits and many of the details are not built in the prototype. The goal is to provide a circuit with overall functionality.

Main advantages of prototyping are clients can actively involve in the procedure, Errors can detect earlier and fix, Missing functionality identify easily, Confusing or difficult functions can be identified.

There are three basic types of prototyping, Bread board, Presentation prototype, Preproduction prototype. A bread board is also called protoboard is use to make temporary circuits for prototyping. Originally it was a wooden bread board when electronics were huge and bulky, people would take their mom’s breadboard, a few nails and start connecting wires onto the board to give themselves a platform on which to build their circuits. In the 1970s the solder less breadboard became popular and these days the term “breadboard” is commonly use.

Presentation Prototype-This type of prototype is often use for promotional purposes. It is the representation of the circuit as it will be construct. It should be able to demonstrate what the circuit can do, but it is not necessarily an exact copy of the final product.

Pre-Production Prototype is the final version of the PCB from how it is manufacture to its final functionality.

Rapid Prototyping is also known as Desktop prototyping takes advantage of computer technology to turn designs into three dimensional objects. It is a process by which a computer program, CAD (computer aided design), creates 3-D preliminary designs. Its get done before finalizing a final product. Furthermore, this is very fast and sample circuits comes in working condition in hours and debugge easily.
