The price of a protoPCBA is visible. The Total Cost of Development much less so.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." — Ferris Bueller's Day Off
More than 35 years old, but perhaps more relevant than ever.
Because in product development the same really applies:
The question is no longer: "How do we save €1000 on a protoPCBA?"
The real question is: "What does it cost if we can only test a week later?"
- A missed iteration.
- A delayed customer demo.
- An investor who has to wait longer.
- A competitor who gets to market just that little bit sooner.
Those are costs you won't find on the quote from a protoPCBA supplier.
The price of a protoPCBA is visible. The Total Cost of Development much less so. And that is precisely where the difference is made.
That's why at DeltaProto we prefer to look at the Total Cost of Development rather than at the price of a single #protoPCBA.
Because the faster you can build, test, learn and improve, the lower the total cost of the development process becomes.
At DeltaProto we help teams go from idea to working prototype faster. Not because speed matters in itself, but because every day you gain creates room for an extra iteration, better decisions and, ultimately, a better product.
Because most successful products don't come about because the first prototype was the cheapest.
They come about because there was enough time for the next one.
Budget can often still be topped up.
Lost development time you never get back.
