Why Prototype Before Production?

Prototyping allows you to validate design, test functionality, and identify potential issues before committing to large production runs. This saves time, reduces costs, and ensures the final product meets all requirements.

Design Validation

Verify that the design meets electrical, mechanical, and functional requirements before production.

Functional Testing

Test cable assemblies in your actual application environment to ensure proper operation.

Fit & Form Check

Confirm physical dimensions, connector compatibility, and routing within your assembly.

Quick Iterations

Make design changes rapidly based on testing results without expensive tooling modifications.

Stakeholder Review

Physical prototypes help communicate design intent to team members, customers, or investors.

Risk Reduction

Identify and fix issues early, avoiding costly production delays and rework later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your typical prototype lead time?

2-3 weeks for most cable assembly and wire harness prototypes. Complex designs with custom components may take 3-4 weeks. Rush services are available for urgent requirements with lead times as short as 1 week.

What is the minimum order quantity for prototypes?

We have no minimum order quantity. You can order a single prototype or multiple units for testing and validation. This allows you to verify design and functionality before committing to production quantities.

Can I make changes after seeing the prototype?

Absolutely! Prototyping is an iterative process. After receiving and testing your prototype, we can quickly implement design changes and build revised prototypes. This ensures the final design meets all your requirements.

Do you provide testing with prototypes?

Yes, all prototypes undergo basic electrical testing (continuity, insulation resistance, hi-pot). We can also perform additional tests such as mechanical stress testing, environmental testing, or custom validation procedures as needed.

What documentation is provided with prototypes?

Each prototype includes: electrical schematics, assembly drawings, Bill of Materials (BOM), test results, and quality inspection reports. This documentation helps you evaluate the prototype and forms the basis for production orders.

Can you prototype with components I supply?

Yes, we can work with customer-supplied components. Simply ship your connectors, cables, or other parts to our facility, and we'll integrate them into the prototype build. This is useful for testing with specific components or specialty parts.

What happens after prototype approval?

Once you approve the prototype, we transition seamlessly to production. All design files, tooling, and processes are already in place, ensuring consistent quality between prototype and production units. We provide production quotes and lead times immediately after approval.
