PHILADELPHIA, PA — FlashPCB, a leading provider of quick-turn PCB assembly, continues to expand its operations and capabilities as it progresses through its National Science Foundation (NSF) Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant. The company recently received its third disbursement of $250,000 after successfully completing its second interim report was accepted. This brings its total received funding to $1.02M between the Phase I and Phase II Awards.

FlashPCB specializes in high-speed PCB prototyping, offering designers and engineers a streamlined AI powered approach to turning concepts into functional circuit boards in record time. The company has positioned itself as a go-to solution for hardware startups, research institutions, and established technology firms looking for reliable and efficient PCB fabrication.

The NSF Phase II SBIR grant, awarded under NSF Grant No. 2335464, provides a total of $1 million in funding over two years. The funding is allocated in stages: an initial $250,000 at the time of the award, followed by three additional disbursements of $250,000 each, contingent on successful interim and final reports. With the successful completion of a Phase II grant, an additional $600,000 is available through Phase IIb and Technology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) supplemental funding awards.

As FlashPCB continues its NSF-funded research and development efforts, the company has also been undergoing significant expansion to support its growing customer base. Recent investments in new capital equipment have enhanced the company’s in-house manufacturing capabilities, allowing for faster turnaround times, improved quality, and greater flexibility in prototype production.

To accommodate increasing demand, FlashPCB has expanded its production facility, integrating cutting-edge fabrication and inspection technology. These advancements position the company to scale its services while maintaining its industry-leading turnaround speeds.

“Receiving continued support from the NSF demonstrates the importance of applying AI to revolutionizing PCB prototyping,” said Thomas Castner, CEO at FlashPCB. “With our recent facility expansion and new capital equipment investments, we are better equipped than ever to accelerate product development cycles for our customers.”
