Fast, accurate PCB prototyping on your own bench — drilling, routing, clearing and engraving, with an Excellon & Gerber → G-code converter and UGS/gSender control software included and set up by us. DUO configurations add a diode laser.
A head-to-head operational and financial comparison between same-day benchtop prototyping with Akriti PCBProto and waiting on third-party fabrication houses.
| Operational Metric | 🏆 In-House Akriti PCBProto | Third-Party PCB Fab Houses |
|---|---|---|
| Turnaround Time | 1 – 3 Hours (depending on size, complexity & number of ops) | 5 to 10 Business Days (Vendor shipping & customs) |
| Iteration Cost per Board | ₹40 – ₹100 (Raw copper clad blank cost) | ₹3,000 – ₹8,000 (Min. batch fee + air courier) |
| Design IP & Confidentiality | 100% In-House & Secure (Gerbers never leave your lab) | High Risk (Unencrypted designs uploaded to third parties) |
| Trace & Gap Resolution | 0.1 mm (4 mil) or thicker track width with high-speed 24k–60k RPM spindles | Standard 4 mil – 6 mil etched tracks |
| Board Warpage Correction | Z-Axis Probe Based Surface Height Mapping - Optional | N/A (Chemical wet process) |
| Chemical Hazards | 100% Dry Mechanical Milling (Zero ferric chloride acids) | Hazardous chemical etching & toxic waste disposal |
| Development Velocity | Same-Day Revisions (Iterate multiple times in one day) | 1 to 2 revisions per month due to shipping cycle |
