From requirements to a clearer enquiry
Plan the board. Understand the trade-offs.
Use the specifications, budget worksheet and schedule model to prepare your request. No files are uploaded and no enquiry is submitted by this tool.
Delivery constraints carried from Quick-Turn
Review these requirements, then add them to your build notes. Your current specification will be preserved.
Start with what you know
Construction details & open requirements (optional)Compare a quote — optional cost worksheet
Enter USD allowances from a supplier quote or your own planning budget. No supplier price is generated from board dimensions. Leave unknown items blank; enter 0 only when included or not required.
Have a required arrival date?
Check whether your release data, material and manufacturing requirements are ready before comparing lead times. An arrival target is not a confirmed slot.
Enter elapsed calendar-day allowances from the same starting date. Convert supplier working-day estimates to calendar days first. These are your planning inputs, not PCBSync delivery commitments.
The clock starts after required files, commercial approval and engineering questions are resolved. Material availability, acceptance scope and shipping destination can change the result.

Build for the test, not just the fastest option
Choose a prototype that answers your engineering question
Rapid PCB prototyping produces a small batch of circuit boards so you can verify the design before a larger release. The useful outcome is a board that represents the electrical, mechanical and thermal conditions you need to test. Speed alone does not make an unsuitable stack-up useful.
Basic circuit validation
For a conventional rigid board, define layer count, outline, drill requirements and finish. Check connector fit, mounting locations and accessible test points before release.
Retain the reference planes and dielectric requirements that matter to the design. Agree impedance targets and tolerances; changing layer count to save time may invalidate the test.
RF laminates, flex regions, sequential lamination and special via structures need a separate availability and process review. Do not treat them as a simple FR-4 price multiplier.
If the prototype validates RF loss, thermal behavior, bending or high-speed performance, discuss any material, copper or stack-up substitution before manufacture. A mechanical fit board and a production-representative validation board are different deliverables.
Separate manufacturing time from arrival time
A clear schedule starts with a clear release
Release
Confirm revision, fabrication data, requirements and outstanding questions.
Fabricate
Agree material availability, stack-up and production slot after review.
Inspect
Include electrical test and any agreed dimensional or impedance checks.
Deliver
Add transit, destination requirements and contingency to the ship date.
Planning sequence shown for explanation; stage lengths are project dependent.
Potential delay
What to resolve early
Conflicting revisions
Use one revision across Gerbers, drill data and the fabrication drawing. Identify what changed from the previous build.
Unconfirmed material or stack-up
State which characteristics are mandatory and which alternatives may be reviewed. Obtain approval before substitution.
Ambiguous holes or tolerances
Distinguish plated and non-plated holes, finished dimensions, slots and critical mechanical features.
Assembly dependencies
Confirm component availability, programming data and test fixtures in parallel with bare-board fabrication.
For a deeper review of expedite conditions, see the quick-turn PCB prototyping and DFM guide. Request a required arrival date, not just a manufacturing duration.
A useful handoff reduces clarification loops
Send the information that changes the build
Fabrication package
Provide your fabrication outputs, drill files and drawing with revision, board outline and quantity. Specify layer order, finished thickness, material, copper requirements, solder mask and surface finish.
Electrical & mechanical requirements
Identify impedance nets and their reference layers, critical hole and outline tolerances, edge plating or cut-outs. Specify required tests and acceptance criteria rather than assuming a generic quality level.
Delivery & assembly scope
State the destination, required arrival date and whether you need bare boards or an assembled build. For assembly, add a BOM with MPNs and DNP positions, placement data and an assembly drawing.
Ask whether copper values refer to starting foil or finished copper, and whether hole sizes are finished plated dimensions. For fine-pitch assembly, discuss finish flatness and stencil requirements with the assembler. See ENIG surface finish and lead-free HASL for the relevant trade-offs.
Compare quotations on the same scope
A low unit price can exclude setup, special finishes, electrical testing, shipping or other required work. Record the batch total and the services included. Ask how tooling is charged on a repeat revision, which changes need a new review, and whether a split shipment would actually help your engineering schedule.
Make acceptance explicit
Confidence comes from an agreed scope and traceable requirements
Before release
Ask for confirmation of material, construction, delivery scope and any exceptions to your drawing. Close engineering questions before treating a proposed schedule as committed.
Before shipment
Agree the electrical test, dimensional checks and documentation your project requires. For impedance-sensitive boards, define coupon and reporting requirements in the quotation.
At receiving
Check revision and quantity, then inspect the features that matter to your validation plan. Manufacturing conformance does not by itself prove that the circuit design will function.
Use the PCBSync capabilities overview to frame the discussion, then confirm your specific build. Customer drawings, reports and project details are not published as evidence. If an NDA or controlled transfer arrangement is required, contact us before sharing files.
One prototype programme, two distinct stages
Need a working assembly rather than a bare board?
The bare-board release defines the interconnect. Assembly adds component sourcing, paste and placement, soldering, programming and any agreed testing. Plan both stages together when the first powered test is your deadline.
01 / Keep this specification
Carry the quantity, board requirements and open fabrication questions into the next stage.
02 / Add assembly inputs
Prepare BOM, placement data, DNP instructions and sourcing responsibilities. Define who approves substitutions.
03 / Define first-article success
Agree inspection, programming and functional checks. Provide test instructions and acceptance limits where required.
The schedule depends on the released design, material availability, process requirements, review closure and shipping destination. Ask for a reviewed ship date and an arrival allowance. A fabrication duration is not a door-to-door delivery commitment.
Does rapid PCB prototyping include assembly?
Not automatically. This page plans bare-board fabrication. For assembled prototypes, include sourcing, assembly, programming and testing as separate agreed scope. Our prototype PCB assembly page helps prepare those requirements.
Can the planner give me a binding price?
No. It records your specification and calculates a budget from cost allowances you enter. A manufacturing quote requires file and scope review. Unknown budget items remain unknown rather than being treated as free.
Should I reduce the layer count to get boards faster?
Only if the revised construction still serves your test. Removing reference planes or changing dielectric geometry can change impedance, return paths and noise behavior. Review the electrical consequences before altering the stack-up.
What quantity should I order for validation?
Count the boards needed for engineering tests, destructive checks, mechanical integration, assembly trials and spares. Compare batch totals for the quantities you actually need; there is no universal economical prototype quantity.
Will electrical testing prove my design works?
Bare-board electrical testing checks connectivity against the agreed test data. It does not validate circuit behavior, firmware, thermal performance or system function. Define assembly and functional tests separately.
How do I submit confidential files?
Contact us to confirm any NDA and transfer requirements before sending files. This planner does not upload or inspect design files. Submit the final enquiry through Contact.
