When your product moves beyond the prototype stage and into mass production, controlling costs becomes as critical as ensuring performance. At Midwest Printed Circuit Services, we recognize that high-volume PCB fabrication presents unique opportunities to reduce per-unit costs, expedite delivery, and maintain consistent quality. With decades of experience supporting large-scale electronics programs, our team is here to help you leverage every advantage of high-volume manufacturing.

Economies of Scale in High Volume PCB Fabrication

Ordering larger quantities lets you spread fixed setup costs—such as tooling, programming, and inspection—across more boards. As your board count grows, the per-unit cost of drilling, lamination, and surface finishes decreases substantially. Midwest Printed Circuit Services negotiates bulk pricing on laminates and copper, passing those savings directly to you. By forecasting demand and planning production batches strategically, we leverage economies of scale to deliver tangible cost reductions for your project.

Optimized Production Workflows

High-volume PCB fabrication thrives on streamlined processes. Our facility uses automated material handling, panel routing, and inspection systems to minimize manual steps and reduce cycle times. Once your design is qualified, we lock in tooling parameters and machine recipes to guarantee repeatability from batch to batch. That consistency not only reduces scrap rates but also shortens lead times, so you can stock inventory, fulfill orders, and respond to market changes without missing a beat.

Quality Control for Large Runs

Scaling up shouldn’t mean compromising on reliability. We apply the same rigorous inspections and tests to production quantities as we do to prototypes. Automated optical inspection (AOI) monitors trace widths, drill registration, and solder-mask definitions on every board. Electrical tests verify continuity and isolation across thousands of PCBs, while periodic thermal cycling checks ensure your batch can withstand real-world stresses. Our ISO 9001, AS9100D and Military certifications, along with adherence to IPC Class 2 and Class 3 standards, ensure that your large-scale orders meet the strictest quality requirements.

Supply Chain Efficiency and Material Sourcing

Managing the supply chain for high-volume PCB fabrication demands foresight and flexibility. We maintain strong partnerships with leading suppliers of laminate and copper, securing priority access to key materials and mitigating risks associated with global shortages. Just-in-time inventory practices ensure you never pay for excess stock, while pre-negotiated contracts lock in pricing for the duration of your program. When urgent needs arise, our expedited logistics network kicks in to keep your production schedule on track.
