Rapid Prototyping

In Jan 2024, CIL introduced a dedicated SMT line and associated thru-hole soldering and inspection to assist its customers with their prototypes and early model builds. At Custom Interconnect we fully understand the importance of having Prototype and Early Model production manufactured as quickly as possible, but in doing so maintaining control and the all-important expected levels of quality. At Custom Interconnect Rapid Production is an Engineering support function, to assist its customers with accelerated time to market.
