Pre-production file and material control
Before prototyping, we check the PCB revision, fabrication data, bill of materials and placement information together. We identify component packages, pin orientation, alternative parts and areas requiring particular attention during assembly. Revision records help prevent confusion, such as identically named files belonging to different board versions.
When selecting the PCB manufacturing method, we assess the layer stack, trace and spacing requirements, holes, surface finish and test purpose. Rapid prototyping does not mean abandoning the board's manufacturing requirements. If the prototype method differs from final production, we consider which tests that difference may affect.
- Matching revision and production files
- BOM, component package and orientation checks
- Planning the sample in accordance with the test objectives
