The company’s rapid prototyping capabilities include rapid printed circuit board fabrication and assembly, advanced manufacturing solutions, design support services, and value engineering services (DFx). The Vexos Velocity program provides electrical design services through an ecosystem of partners supporting industrial design, reliability, and testing requirements. The company also provides integrated technology and component solutions as part of its rapid prototyping process.
Vexos states that its rapid prototyping operations support rapid PCB and PCBA prototype builds, NPI programs, regional production, and global manufacturing activities.
The company’s prototype assembly process includes the use of flex placement machines, optical inspection systems, paste printing cameras, and selective soldering equipment. Process controls are implemented from component kit check-in through final inspection.
According to Vexos, project management and communication are maintained throughout the rapid prototyping process, from receipt of customer files through delivery of finished assemblies. The company also states that full DFx reviews are conducted at the front end of projects.
Vexos’ rapid prototyping process includes RFQ and budgetary quote turnaround within 24 to 48 hours, DFX review and feedback, design release and purchase order processing, quick-turn procurement, and quick-turn build with first article reporting.
Its rapid prototyping deliverables include 24–48-hour turnaround on budgetary or preliminary design and BOM reviews, 5-to-15-day delivery upon final design and purchase order release, DFX analyses performed in parallel with rapid prototyping, and optional NPI or production planning support.
According to Vexos, its DFx review process provides DFM, DFA, DFF, DFSC, and DFT feedback throughout the concept-to-completion process. The company states that pre-build activities include forensic BOM review analysis focused on material sourcing, approved manufacturer lists (AML), compliance, supply, and product lifecycle considerations as part of design for supply chain (DFSC) processes.
Vexos’ standard build timelines include prototype builds within 5 to 15 days, NPI builds within 10 to 15 days, and low-to-medium complexity production volumes within 2 to 3 weeks. The company’s rapid prototyping and manufacturing operations support markets including medical, computing, HVAC, automotive, industrial, smart grid, security, communications, aviation, defense, and space.
According to Vexos, its quality and compliance processes include subcontractor selection, factory audits, personnel training, document control, and production part approval process (PPAP) procedures. The company lists certifications including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, AS9100D:2016, OHSAS 18001:2007, FDA registration, UL certification, CGP certification, and ITAR compliance.
