Basic and Plus Prototypes
Prototyping prior to committing to large volume runs can save you
time and money. AP Circuits™ offers two service types with the
major difference between them being finishing options.
The fastest turn-around time is provided with our basic prototype service.
This service is also ideal for testing and evaluation. Masking options are
offered in our prototype plus service.
