WHAT WILL YOU PROTOTYPE NEXT?
DEVELOPING ANTENNAS OR
RF CIRCUITS?
From your design to a precision-milled prototype. Explore real antenna patterns made with MIPEC technology.
TEST YOUR PCB DESIGN
PROTOTYPE WHEN YOU NEED IT
Move from PCB design to a physical prototype directly in your own laboratory, without relying on an external fabrication cycle for every revision.
KEEP YOUR DATA IN-HOUSE
Keep PCB manufacturing data and prototype boards within your development environment when internal processing is important to the project.
ITERATE IN-HOUSE
Manufacture, evaluate and revise prototype boards within the same development environment as your electronic design and testing.
COMPLETE SOLUTION. ONE WORKFLOW.
Connect PCB milling and drilling with through-hole connection, solder paste application, component placement and reflow.
FIND THE RIGHT PCB MILLING MACHINE
ACCELERATE PCB PROTOTYPING IN YOUR LAB
Mill and drill PCB prototypes directly from Gerber data, then build and test your designs in-house with MIPEC equipment.
- Make prototypes in-house without waiting for external production.
- Build the workflow you need – from PCB milling to component placement and reflow.
- Skip chemical etching – machine PCB prototypes mechanically.
REAL RESULTS. REAL PCB PROTOTYPES.

THE MIPEC WORKFLOW
FROM GERBER FILE TO FINISHED PCB IN SIX STEPS
Complete in-house workflow for PCB prototyping, from manufacturing data preparation and milling to component placement and reflow.
01
CAM & DATA PREP
Prepare Gerber and Excellon manufacturing data, create machining operations and review toolpaths with TrackMaker. →
02
MILLING & DRILLING
Create PCB isolation paths, drill holes and machine the final board contour using 4MILL CNC systems. →
03
THROUGH-HOLE CONNECTION
Create mechanical electrical connections between the two sides of double-sided prototype PCBs using conductive rivets. →
04
SOLDER PASTE APPLICATION
Apply solder paste using stencil printing or pneumatic dispensing according to the PCB and assembly requirements. →
05
COMPONENT PLACEMENT
Position SMD components manually with vacuum pickup, visual assistance and optional component feeders. →
06
SOLDERING & REFLOW
Reflow the assembled PCB using a controlled thermal process selected for the solder paste and board assembly. →
WHAT MAKES MIPEC DIFFERENT
From PCB Milling to a Complete SMT Prototype
FROM PCB MILLING TO A COMPLETE SMT WORKFLOW
Start with PCB milling and expand the laboratory workflow step by step into solder paste application, component placement and reflow as requirements grow.
TrackMaker PCB CAM Software
TRACKMAKER PCB CAM SOFTWARE

Single-Source Hardware Support
SINGLE-SOURCE HARDWARE SUPPORT
MIPEC supplies the core PCB prototyping equipment together with compatible tooling, extraction systems, accessories and technical support for the complete laboratory workflow.
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
“
I would like to thank you very much for taking part in the project. It was a great benefit for me personally. Even when things had to be solved quickly and adjusted along the way, from my point of view everything was always handled perfectly. I really appreciate the excellent communication, and I would be very happy to work together again in the future.
