Flex PCB Prototyping

Rapid Flex PCB Prototyping Service

FlexiPCB's prototype service bridges the gap between your flex circuit design and volume production. Every prototype is fabricated on the same production lines, using the same polyimide materials (Shengyi SF305, Dupont AP, Songxia RF-775), and tested with the same AOI and flying probe equipment as our mass-production orders. This means zero re-qualification when you scale — your prototype IS your production sample.

24-hour express, 48-72 hour standard turnaround
No MOQ — order from 1 piece
1-8 layer flex and rigid-flex prototypes
Free DFM review within 2 hours
Production-identical materials and processes
100% electrical testing on every prototype

Prototype Applications

New Product Development

Validate your flex circuit design for fit, form, and function before committing to production tooling. Our prototypes match production quality, eliminating surprises at scale.

Design Iteration

Rapidly iterate through multiple design revisions with 24-hour turnaround. Test different stack-ups, materials, and trace geometries without long lead times.

Pre-Production Validation

Conduct full electrical, mechanical, and environmental testing on production-grade prototypes. Verify impedance, bend radius performance, and solder joint reliability.

Trade Show & Investor Demos

Get working prototypes for presentations, investor pitches, and trade show demonstrations. We deliver professional-grade boards that represent your final product.

Prototype Process

1

Upload Design Files

Submit your Gerber, ODB++, or CAD files through our secure portal. We accept all major EDA formats including Altium, KiCad, and Eagle.

2

Free DFM Analysis

Our engineers review your design within 2 hours, checking for manufacturability issues and suggesting optimizations for flex circuit performance.

3

Instant Quotation

Receive a detailed quote with pricing breakdown and lead time options. Choose from 24-hour express, standard, or economy turnaround.

4

Production

Your prototype enters our dedicated quick-turn line using production-grade polyimide materials and precision LDI imaging equipment.

5

Testing & QC

Every prototype undergoes 100% electrical testing via flying probe and automated optical inspection. We ship a full test report with your order.

6

Express Shipping

Prototypes ship via DHL/FedEx/UPS with full tracking. Worldwide delivery in 1-3 business days after production completion.

Why Prototype with FlexiPCB?

24-Hour Express

Industry-leading turnaround from confirmed order to shipped board. Don't let PCB lead times slow your development schedule.

Zero Re-Qualification

Prototypes built on production lines with production materials. When you move to volume, there's nothing to re-qualify.

Free DFM Review

Every prototype order includes complimentary design-for-manufacturing analysis. Catch issues before fabrication, not after.

No Tooling Fees

Direct LDI imaging means no film tooling charges for prototypes. Change your design as often as needed with zero additional cost.
