Select the layer configuration that fits your design complexity and budget. Not sure which to choose? Upload your Gerber and we’ll advise.
The fastest and most affordable prototype format. Double-sided copper routing supports the vast majority of standard circuit designs—from microcontroller boards and sensor modules to power supplies and LED drivers. 24-hour quick-turn as standard.
Materials: FR-4 (TG130 / TG150 / TG170), FR-1 · Surface finish: HASL, ENIG, OSP, Immersion Silver · Copper: up to 10 oz
Two internal copper layers dedicated to power and ground planes — enabling tighter signal integrity, reduced EMI, and higher component density than a 2-layer design. The right choice for FPGAs, high-speed digital, and wireless RF applications. Impedance control to ±5% available.
Surface finish: ENIG, HASL, Immersion Silver, OSP, ENEPIG · Substrate: FR-4, High-TG, Rogers · Copper: up to 10 oz
Engineered for demanding architectural tiers, complex signal routing, and ultra-high frequency requirements. Fully compliant with rigid IPC Class 2/3 manufacturing parameters, offering standard DFM, DFA, and signal integrity validation.
No lengthy RFQ process. Upload, configure, pay, and track — all online.
Accepts Gerber RS-274x, Gerber X2, and ODB++. Exported from Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, and more.
Configure layers, size, finish, quantity, and turnaround. Price updates in real time — no waiting for a salesperson.
Our HQDFM engine automatically checks your files for manufacturability issues before production starts.
Quick-turn production starts same day. Boards are tested, packed, and shipped via DHL / FedEx / UPS with full tracking.
Transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Every quote is generated instantly online — no manual negotiation required.
| PCB Type | Starting Price | Quick-Turn Lead Time | Key Specs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 Layer | $5 | 24 hours | Up to 1500 × 600 mm; Min 10 × 10 mm; HASL / ENIG; No MOQ |
| 4-Layer | $30 | 48 hours | Impedance control ±5%; blind/buried vias |
| 6-Layer | $60 | 3–5 days | Rigid-flex options; Rogers materials available |
| 8–32 Layer / HDI | Custom | 5–10 days | HDI microvias; Rogers / Arlon; up to 60 GHz |
Larger area = more material and machine time
More layers = more lamination cycles and cost
HASL is cheapest; ENIG adds a small premium
24h quick-turn carries a small speed premium
5–10 pcs vs 1 pc drops unit price significantly
Rogers / high-TG carry a premium over standard FR-4

NextPCB also offers PCBA prototype services — components sourced, placed, and soldered. Bare PCB prototype and PCBA prototype are different services with different lead times and pricing.
Common questions about ordering PCB prototypes online from NextPCB.
A 2-layer prototype at NextPCB starts from $5 (up to 100×100 mm). A 4-layer prototype starts from $30.
Price depends on board size, layer count, surface finish, quantity, and turnaround. Use our instant quote tool for an exact figure.
NextPCB offers 24-hour quick-turn for 1–2 layer prototypes and 48-hour for 4-layer boards. Shipping time is additional depending on your location and carrier.
Choose 2-layer for simple circuits, hobbyist projects, and cost-sensitive prototypes. It’s the cheapest and fastest option.
Choose 4-layer when you need dedicated power/ground planes, tighter signal integrity, lower EMI, or higher component density — typical for FPGA, high-speed digital, or wireless RF designs.
Yes. NextPCB has no MOQ for PCB prototypes. Order as few as 1 piece. The entire process — quote, payment, and order tracking — is online with no account required to get a quote.
Upload Gerber RS-274x, Gerber X2, or ODB++ files. Supported design tools include Altium Designer, KiCad, Eagle, and OrCAD. Our system auto-parses layers and runs a free DFM check on upload.
Yes — free functional testing for up to 10 prototype units, verifying real-condition electrical performance at no extra cost. Full details ›
A PCB prototype is a bare printed circuit board — no components. This is the service described on this page.
A PCBA prototype has components sourced, placed, and soldered onto the board, ready for functional testing. NextPCB offers both. Explore PCBA services ›
