All-in-1 Custom PCB/Electronics
Prototype & Product Development

Your All-in-1 Electronics and PCB Prototyping Company

Need simple & fast electronics prototype development?

Get help for PCB components or entire product!

Our Electronics & PCB Development Package is made for anyone that has a design idea and needs to get the prototyping and production planning implemented professionally. It doesn’t matter whether you have fully defined specifications yet, since we can also help with the technical design. We can even gladly do the mass manufacturing after the electronics development at our facilities. Wherever you are in the development process, we make sure that the concept, PCB, casing and all other aspects are well planned and coordinated, so that the scaling of production can take place soon after the PCB and electronics product prototype.

Electronics prototyping has many aspects from target functionality, PCB with internal layout to external product layout (as the case) and product costing. All these details are important since it’s not only crucial that your product works as desired but also that it is possible to produce it later economically. The first major goal is usually to have a fully functioning PCB & electronics sample. We can do the entire product or just the PCB depending on your needs. It’s just important that the planning for the PCB carefully considers the other product parts and components. Make sure that you get an electronics prototype that is not only fully functional but also scalable for production by working with us–an experienced electronics prototyping company.

Why our Electronics & PCB Development Package?

Save time, effort and money for your electronics product development project

PCB development is at the core of any electronics item. This is the part that most people without much experience are most concerned about. However, this is no problem at all in most cases as long as you have the functionality neatly outlined. Especially simple consumer electronics development is much easier from a PCB perspective than most people think. The software is often the harder part, but we also do the coding/flashing. At the same time, it’s of course also no problem for us if you know exactly how you want your PCB development done. Simply send us your Gerber/ODB files (or similar) and we can check those.

The coordination of your electronics development is easy if you already have you design files ready. If that’s not the case, you can simply send us a detailed description for the desired functionality and ideally a product reference that is similar to your product idea. For the final prototype, we will make the PCB prototypes along with 3D prints for the case (or similar) including other components and assembly if necessary. Our goal is always to make the prototypes as close as possible to the final version of the design files. Often changes are necessary and the prototypes have to be iterated.

How To Get The Electronics Prototype & More (If Needed)

1. Start With a Concept

It is essential to start any electronics and PCB development project with a clear, detailed concept. At no point in the product development process there is so much potential to save as much time and effort. Basic dimensions, materials, functionality and design goals have to be determined as early as possible.

2. CAD File Creation

The CAD or 3D files are mainly relevant for your external product design or casing (in most cases). It’s important to finish this part first so that the electronic components and PCB can be tailored well to your product. You can check the overall appearance and design also early on in the initial stage of the electronics product development this way.

3. Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Development

At the core of any electronics product is naturally the development of the custom PCB. We determine the number and layout of layers, creating the Gerber/ODB files including all components if required. Alternatively, we can review and make update your existing files so that everything is final for prototyping.  

4. Create the Full Electronics Prototype

Whether you only need a custom prototype for your PCB or for the entire electronics product, based on your or the previously created files we carefully make your sample. Holding it in your own hands and testing it in practice often brings some necessary improvements to light. After debugging and updating the design files, we usually iterate the sample as needed.

5. Finalize Your Bill of Materials (BOM)

For scaling production after the development of your electronics product, it’s important to double check the cost and alternatives for PCB parts and other components. We always keep track of that during the entire prototyping process. Once the prototype is confirmed, this list and the costing can be finalized as well including packaging and other aspects.

6. Start Production with QC

The final goal of any electronics and PCB prototyping is the scaling to mass production. If you liked the development phase with us, we can gladly move on and directly implement everything. We have our own electronics assembly lines where can accommodate most PCB and electronics products with assembly, packaging and shipping. We can also deliver sub-assemblies or simply the developed PCB of course.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! We cater both to needs of clients that are developing PCB components for the products they make themselves. On the other hand, we have can also take over the product development for an entire product. The latter is especially if just simple injection molded plastic cases and assembly are needed. The former is more common for more complex and larger item that often consists of many part groups. PCB prototyping is very similar in both cases. If it is used in a product that we don’t do ourselves, please just make sure that the specifications and all related aspects are final and confirmed. When we just do the PCB development, it is not possible for us to double check as many aspects as when we develop the entire electronics product. In that case, we can make sure the product works as desired even with some simple functionality descriptions/logic graphs or reference products with explanations.

Of course! Especially our larger clients with relevant electronics development experience often have the electronics product design and specifications all ready (again, no problem at all if you don’t). We will strictly follow your instructions in this case and can straight up start with the PCB prototyping on the following day rapidly. Many electronics prototype companies need a long time even for basic steps, but we have usually everything we need for most products in stock or can order critical components quickly. Printed circuit board development is easy, but please make sure that the files you sent are final and confirmed. It’s often hard to make significant changes once we started and we have to start over again.

No! We do all our design and electronics product development services step by step. That means you always only pay for the next phase and can start or stop at any point in the process. It is our goal though to get into a long-term collaboration also after the electronic product development. We always work towards and hope that you like our work so that you also do the mass production with us. It’s our opinion that it is ideal when PCB development and setting up the production line at the electronics manufacturer can be done together, because we will know and understand your product better than anyone else after the development. PCB prototyping and assembly are our strength and we hope you will agree after working with us.
We make our PCB prototypes usually in Shenzhen, the heart of the electronics manufacturing in the world. The reason are the short ways and very well-established supply chains. For missing components, you go or order from markets that have almost anything you could possibly need and the know-how and acceptance of low volume and rapid PCB prototyping from suppliers is very good. Most PCB components for electronics product development come from the surrounding Guangdong province. For mass manufacturing, we also mainly use our factory close to Shenzhen for similar reasons. The short ways, flexibility and speed make it a very suitable place for most production lines. Since the PCB prototyping and related services usually are done here anyway, it’s mostly the best production location. We sometime also manufacture in the Philippines or Taiwan, but this is mostly only relevant for specific products. As your electronics prototyping company, please contact us if you have any questions about the process.
Confidentiality and reliability are very important to us. Rest assured that we protect any design files and ideas that you send us. The first step when working with us is usually that we prepare and send an NDA (non-disclosure agreement). In case that you have specific needs for your electronics prototype or have company standard forms, you can gladly send us your own NDA or CA (confidentiality agreement). These are all usually no problem for us. Furthermore, we are a sole OEM and product development company. Intrepid Sourcing only develops produces client designs. We don’t produce any products ourselves and have long established and reliable supplier partners for components that we can trust as well. Especially for novel electronics product development, we take great care that your product cannot be replicated by anyone. We ideally always want to get in a long-term working relationship with our clients and care a lot about long-term satisfaction.
