PCB Prototyping Services in Illinois

Stream PCB Inc. offers industry-leading PCB quick-turn prototyping services in Illinois. We handle the design, fabrication, assembly, and testing of quick-turn prototype circuit boards in record time. Our turnaround time varies from 1 to 7 days, depending on the complexity of the design.

Advantages of Quick-Turn PCB Orders in Illinois

There are several reasons why our customers trust our prototyping services:

  • Faster testing and validation of design ideas
  • DFM assistance to reduce overall project costs and accelerate time-to-market
  • Improving product efficacy before scaling up for mass production
  • Availability of small quantities of prototype boards for design and validation

Several factors influence the turnaround time for printed circuit board prototyping in Illinois, including design complexity, compliance with DFM/DFT standards, and component availability. For example, lead time for advanced technology boards with multiple layers will be longer than that for standard technology boards. Designs that incorporate via-in-pads may add an extra day to the lead time.
