Our prototyping services

Four prototyping methods. One accountable team.

Our prototyping services turn ideas into precise, functional models, so you can validate and refine concepts with the highest attention to detail.

PCB Fabrication & Assembly 01

Flexible PCB solutions: manual assembly for low volumes and automated SMT for higher volumes, panelized for efficient setup.

We support
  • Low-volume manual assembly
  • High-volume automated SMT
  • Panelized fabrication
  • Functional bring-up & debug
  • Through-hole & mixed builds
Deliverables
  • Assembled PCB prototypes
  • Gerber files
  • Bill of Materials (BOM)
  • Functional test reports

We mill
  • Aluminum, steel, brass
  • ABS, POM, PEEK, nylon
  • Tight-tolerance fixtures
  • Functional prototype housings
  • Multi-axis complex geometries
Deliverables
  • Machined parts
  • 3D CAD files
  • Tolerance reports
  • Surface-finish documentation

3D Printing 03

With 4 in-house 3D printers spanning SLA, FDM, SLS, and PolyJet, our engineers turn files into realistic, precise prototypes fast.

We print
  • SLA (resin-based detail)
  • FDM (functional parts)
  • SLS (durable nylon)
  • PolyJet (multi-material)
  • 5 to 18 day lead times
Deliverables
  • 3D-printed prototypes
  • STL files
  • Material specification sheets
  • Print-quality verification

Resin Casting 04

Resin casting produces production-like prototypes quickly and cost-effectively, bridging the gap between printing and hard tooling.

Ideal for
  • Low-volume short runs (10–500)
  • Bridge between print and tooling
  • Production-like material feel
  • Color-matched bodies & trim
  • Fast iteration on form
Deliverables
  • Cast parts / models
  • Mold design files
  • Material data sheets
  • Finish & quality inspection reports

How we work

Our prototyping process.

From file prep to refinement: three stages where engineering judgment lives, not just machine time.

01

File preparation

We prep your files around part size, complexity, and application, so they run cleanly on the prototyping process we select.

02

Fabrication setup

Our engineers pick the optimal method and oversee setup, keeping fabrication smooth and precise from the first part.

03

Refinement & quality check

Most prototypes need fine-tuning after fabrication. Our specialists refine each one so it matches the quality and performance of the final manufactured unit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on how we prototype, what we deliver, and how we protect your IP.

Why does prototyping matter in product development?

Prototyping lets you hold a physical version of your design before committing to production. It's how you test functionality, catch design flaws, and gather feedback early, which saves both time and money downstream.

How does Jaycon approach the prototyping process?

We start by understanding your goals, then select the right method and build detailed prototypes to your spec. Each iteration is refined until the part matches the fit, finish, and function you need.

What is rapid prototyping, and how do you use it?

Rapid prototyping is a fast, cost-effective way to produce physical models of a design. We use it to run quick iterations, so you can test, refine, and move a product forward without waiting on tooling.

How do you protect confidential designs?

Every upload is NDA-protected and handled by the same in-house engineering team that builds it. Your files, CAD, and IP stay within Jaycon, never brokered out to third-party shops.
