48-hour builds once the kit and stencil are ready — and a real date, not an optimistic one, when your board needs longer.
Two things have to be ready before a 48-hour build is real: your components in the kit, and the stencil cut for this design. Until then the machine has nothing to place.
So the honest sequence is: we review your files, quote the build, kit the parts and cut the stencil, then run it in 48 hours. On a simple board that is usually about a week door to door. On a dense or long-lead build we tell you the real date before you pay.
One board is a valid order. There is no minimum.
Each step is done by the same engineer. Nothing is passed to a second team between the quote and the box.
Send BOM, Gerber, pick-and-place and your target date. We check the build and flag what will bite.
Price, lead time, NRE and freight, usually within 1–2 business days.
Parts are kitted and the stencil is cut for this design. This is where the 48 hours starts.
Placement, reflow, hand solder where needed, first article, then DHL, FedEx or your forwarder.
The record of how it was checked travels with the boards. That is the only quality claim we can make honestly.
The first board checked against your files, photographed on request.
What was checked on the lot, and who signed it off.
Quantity, part references, and the tracking number the day it leaves.
We quote as separate lines so you can see what a change costs before you ask for it.
1–49 pieces is prototype pricing: setup dominates. From 50 pieces the per-board price starts to fall.
The BOM is usually most of the cost, and most of the lead time. Long-lead parts move the date, not the labour.
Stencil and programming are charged once per design, as separate lines. Repeat builds with unchanged files do not pay them again.
