Mini Mass Production
Let's say you've got a new product you want to test market before spending a LOT of money for commercially made boards.

PCB "On Demand"

There's no better way to "proof out" your next project and when finished, turn out a quick dozen to meet your customer's demands for your new proudct.

Many circuit design applications do not have high production requirements. Many unique devices engineers create are very specialized and do not require nor could stand the high cost of commercial board fabrication - especially if you only need a small handful of boards. This technique allows you to fabricate your end product as demand dictates.

Remember the sobering "what if...". What if the device has no public appeal and you can't sell them? Until your design starts sellling like 'hot cakes', your product is nothing more than "pie in the sky". If using our PCB fabrication technques and it flops, you haven't spent but a few dollars.

Now isn't that smart thinking?

Here's a real-time example...

Here's a real SMT circuit image of an up and coming product we're working on for the Radio Control market.

We did a simply did a "step & repeat" of the image to create the "master". It used up a half-sheet of TTS paper but made 10 boards, all on one .032" thick piece of blank single-sided laminate. Now that's the way to "prototype" on a budget!

Here is the total cost to produce these 10 boards:


Single-Sided (1/2 sheet)
$4.49
Transfer Paper (1/2 sheet)
$.75
6" GreenTRF
$.25
TOTAL COST
$5.49


So now you have 10 boards costing $5.49 total. Only $.55 per PCB, made in about 20 minutes including shearing!

Steve Miller's company started producing his unique tone modifiying electronic pedal effect products by making his own circuit boards built into custom labeled, enclosures using our sister product "DecalPRO" (shown in detail under the "Going Farther" menu button above).
