PROTOTYPE WHEN YOU NEED IT
Move from PCB design to a physical prototype directly in your own laboratory, without relying on an external fabrication cycle for every revision.
KEEP YOUR DATA IN-HOUSE
Keep PCB manufacturing data and prototype boards within your development environment when internal processing is important to the project.
ITERATE IN-HOUSE
Manufacture, evaluate and revise prototype boards within the same development environment as your electronic design and testing.
COMPLETE SOLUTION. ONE WORKFLOW.
Connect PCB milling and drilling with through-hole connection, solder paste application, component placement and reflow.

THE MIPEC WORKFLOW

FROM GERBER FILE TO FINISHED PCB IN SIX STEPS

Follow the board through six connected operations, from preparing manufacturing data to reflowing the assembled prototype.

01

CAM & DATA PREP

Import Gerber and Excellon files into TrackMaker, define machining operations and check the toolpaths. →

02

MILLING & DRILLING

Mill isolation paths, drill holes and cut the final board outline with 4MILL CNC systems. →

03

THROUGH-HOLE CONNECTION

Create electrical connections between both PCB sides using mechanically fitted conductive rivets. →

04

SOLDER PASTE APPLICATION

Print solder paste through a stencil or dispense it pneumatically to suit the board and assembly. →

05

COMPONENT PLACEMENT

Place SMD components manually with vacuum pickup, visual assistance and optional feeders. →

06

SOLDERING & REFLOW

Reflow the populated board with a controlled thermal profile suited to the solder paste and assembly. →

WHAT MAKES MIPEC DIFFERENT

From PCB Milling to a Complete SMT Prototype

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
“
I would like to thank you very much for taking part in the project. It was a great benefit for me personally. Even when things had to be solved quickly and adjusted along the way, from my point of view everything was always handled perfectly. I really appreciate the excellent communication, and I would be very happy to work together again in the future.
