Physical Prototyping and Fabrication involves building preliminary models prior to production or going to market. SOE’s engineering technicians often use the prototyping process to do a gamut of tests, including: assemble, solder, inspect, program, and test electronic components (PCBAs, test racks, and custom hardware), wiring harnesses, and other assemblies. Second Order Effects' primary capabilities in Physical Prototyping and Fabrication include: 1. 3D Printing Optimization, Metal Sintering, SLO 2. Circuit Prototyping 3. Electromechanical Assembly 4. Electronics Measurement & Test 5. Machining and Mechanical Fabrication 6. Material Properties and Selection (Metals, Composites, Plastics 7. PCBA Rework, SMT, Soldering
