At DuxPCB, we believe a prototype is more than just a sample—it is the foundation of your product's success. Our PCB Prototype Manufacturing service is designed to bridge the gap between R&D and mass production. Whether you are an engineer validating a new IoT concept or a research institute requiring high-frequency boards, DuxPCB delivers industrial-grade prototypes with lead times as fast as 8 hours.
We don't just "print" boards; we engineer them for manufacturability. Unlike standard pooling services that sacrifice quality for cost, DuxPCB treats every prototype with the same rigor as a mission-critical production run.
Your prototype is built on the same production lines using the same materials as our volume orders. This ensures that the performance data you get from the prototype is 100% transferable to mass production, eliminating "Golden Sample" traps.
We maintain a vast inventory of high-performance laminates to support diverse applications.
Deadlines matter. For standard FR4 boards, we offer 8-hour expedited fabrication. For complex multilayer or HDI boards, we provide industry-leading turnaround times without cutting corners on quality checks.
Our CAM engineers perform a detailed DFM (Design for Manufacturing) review on every file. We catch potential issues—like acid traps, insufficient annular rings, or impedance mismatches—before the board hits the line.
We specialize in complex boards that standard prototype shops cannot handle.

Option A: Standard Prototype Pooling (Cost-Effective)
For standard FR4 designs, we can group your order with others on a shared panel. This maximizes material utilization and significantly lowers your cost—ideal for early-stage functionality testing and hobbyist projects.
Option B: Custom Engineering Run (High-Performance)
For complex applications (Aerospace, Medical, Automotive), we recommend a dedicated custom run. This guarantees precise impedance control, specific material selection (e.g., Rogers 4350B), and edge-to-edge perfection without the limitations of shared panels.
Insights from our engineering floor on handling complex requirements.
Q: Can you manufacture transparent flexible PCBs for automotive lighting?
A: Yes. We have extensive experience with advanced FPC materials. For example, we successfully manufactured Transparent Flexible PCBs for a U.S. automotive client, achieving 90% transparency for use in smart car lamp assemblies. These prototypes were fully functional and integrated with app-controlled lighting systems.
Q: Do you handle "Hard Gold" plating for wear-resistant contacts?
A: Absolutely. For applications like keypad contacts or edge connectors, standard ENIG isn't durable enough. We offer Hard Gold Plating (up to 50u''). We recently delivered a medical-grade device prototype featuring hard gold on frequently used dome button pads to ensure a lifecycle of over 1 million presses.
Q: What is the cost structure for complex flex-board prototypes?
A: Flex and Rigid-Flex pricing is based on weight and layer complexity rather than just area. While a simple FR4 prototype might cost under $100, a dual-sided Flexible PCB run typically starts around $200 (including tooling and laser cutting). For a complex 4-Layer Rigid-Flex, costs are higher due to the intricate lamination process, but DuxPCB ensures you get production-quality units for verification.
Q: Can you provide box-build assembly for my prototype?
A: Yes. We don't stop at the bare board. We offer full Turnkey Prototype Assembly, including component sourcing (DigiKey/Mouser), IC programming, firmware flashing, and even 3D-printed or CNC-machined enclosure assembly. We once completed a full "Board-to-Box" project in just 8 days.
