PCB Prototyping Stages During PCB prototyping , many engineers focus on design experimentation to get proof of concept, this stage PCB prototyping makes it little more possible to prove that your design concept will actually work in electronic product. It’s far more cost-effective to test variables at this point than to produce high volume PCBs with a defect design. If the 1st stage PCB prototype proves to work, engineers may adjust and optimize the design considering PCB manufacturing complexity, PCB cost, component cost, mechanics, assembly complexity, and some others in mind. Then it comes to the 2nd stage PCB prototyping, the final product is coming much closer to reality with this prototype. When this prototype assembly works as the expectations, the design goes to be the final version, although some changes might still need to make before production. Before production, your prototyping may need one time, two times, or three times, which ensures the circuit board works...
