We're here to help

Your Dashboard is divided into two columns. In the first you will find the drafts of your projects and below the finished projects ready to be sorted and reordered.

In the second column, instead, you will find the drafts of your orders and the orders placed with the status and all the details about your orders.

Your prototypes will be assembled in our fully automated line, screen printing via My500 and assembly on state-of-the-art Pick and Place machines for technologically advanced and high quality assembly.

All the cards go through optical inspection and in the case of BGA, LGA and QFN will be viewed with X-RAY control

It is possible to download the example BOM file on the page of the BOM upload.

In any case it is possible to upload the BOM with any formatting, subsequently it is necessary to indicates which column refers to the necessary information.

It is possible to create the BOM with our tool which will properly format the file to be imported. There is also the possibility of adding or removing components and modifying each field for each component even after loading its own BOM.

We prototype reserves the right to purchase an adequate number of additional components for SMD resistors and capacitors only. This mechanism is aimed at the correct loading on the assembly machine and to guarantee a quick and quality assembly, including any scraps during assembly.

All the resistors and advanced capacitors will be returned with the boards produced to the customer for possible experiments and / or own repairs.

It is necessary to load the BOM in Excel .xls format respecting the important informations for the research, taking care to put the following informations in the column

● Drawing Reference

● Manufacture Partnumber

● Technology

● SMD case

● Quantity

If a component is not found automatically you have more possibilities

● Modify the single partnumber and the quantity by repeating the search for that code with simplicity and extreme flexibility

● Selecting "I will send the component" and then providing the component in question if you have availability or ease in finding it.

● Decide not to mount it

The Premium Warehouse is a digital stock management module available to company accounts. It lets you:

• Maintain a catalogue of your electronic components with quantities and prices
• Import/export the catalogue via Excel
• Configure Re-Order Points (ROP) to receive automatic email alerts when stock falls below a critical threshold
• Integrate with external ERP systems via API
• Make components available directly during the BOM analysis phase, reducing sourcing costs

Contact WEP to activate this feature on your account.

Go to Company in the sidebar, scroll to the Company Members section and click Invite Member. Enter the colleague's email address. They will receive an activation email with a link to set their password and access the platform under your company account.

The warehouse access is controlled by two separate permissions in the member's Access Policy:

View Warehouse — must be enabled for the member to see the component catalogue.

Download Warehouse — must be enabled to export the catalogue as an Excel file.

To update: go to the member's profile → Edit Policy → enable the relevant toggles → Update Permissions.

To develop the PicK and Place editing program it is necessary

to import the CAD files of the board. Alternatively, file coordinates with the

extension: .txt, .csv, .xls, .pkp, .mnt. with within them:

● XY coordinates

● Drawing Reference

● Orientation of the components

However, we recommend using the CAD file in order to guarantee a faster development time.

After receiving the files our technicians will verify that the gerbers do not present inconsistencies with the bom and that all the files are compatible with the automatic mounting systems.

To send your PCB files please use the following formats:

● Gerber data format: RS-274X (extended format with open table incorporated);

● Drill data format: Excellon or Sieb & Mayer 3000 (with package tool released).

Yes, all the files we receive are displayed and analyzed by expert technicians

Go to My Orders, expand the order you need and click Download Invoice. The PDF invoice is generated automatically and includes all order details.

For electronic invoicing, make sure your VAT number and SDI code are correctly entered in your Company profile before placing the order.

The platform supports two payment methods:

Credit/debit card — payment is processed securely via PayPal. The order moves to production immediately after confirmation.

Bank transfer — after order placement you receive the bank details. Production starts once the transfer is credited (usually 1–2 business days).

During the order process, on the Order Summary page you will find a Discount Code field. Enter your code and click Apply — the discount is deducted from the total immediately. Each code is single-use and personal.

Delivery times depend on component availability, PCB configuration and the selected shipping option. An estimated delivery date is shown in the order summary before you confirm.

As a guide: standard prototypes with available components are typically ready within 10–15 business days from payment confirmation. Complex configurations or components with long lead times may take longer — the platform shows updated estimates in real time.

Orders in Waiting Payment status can be cancelled. Once production starts (On Working) it is no longer possible to make changes.

If you have an urgent need, contact WEP support immediately via email or phone. The sooner you get in touch, the better the chances of making adjustments before components are sourced.

The total cost is reimbursed if the availability of the components change during the technical validation of the files. The customer can re-order the project by making the appropriate choices regarding the missing components.

After the re-order, the technical verification phase, if the assembly files are not modified, will be considered already executed and the order of the components it will be immediate to avoid the problem that occurred previously again

You can use PayPal, credit card or bank transfer.

An invoice will then be issued attached to the order you will receive.

Attention: In the case of bank transfer we will proceed to purchase the components only after having read the payment receipt. Spending a certain amount of time some components may no longer be available, you will be contacted to choose how to proceed

When you pay for your purchase, the availability of the components will be checked again, only after the validation of the files by our technicians will we take the amount.

For all our PCBs the 100% Electric Test is included
