⚡ INSTANT PCB ASSEMBLY QUOTING
Quick-Turn PCBA Quotes. Delivered in Minutes, Not Days.
RapidRFQ is Amtech’s instant quoting platform for PCB assembly — powered by Boardera’s AI-driven quoting engine. Upload your BOM, Gerbers, and CPL file and get accurate, manufacturable quotes back in minutes. Built for engineering and sourcing teams who can’t afford to wait days for a price.
THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Slow Quotes Kill Quick-Turn Projects.
Traditional RFQ cycles take 3–7 business days — sometimes longer. That’s a painful bottleneck when you’re racing through prototype iterations, chasing a production window, or comparing options before locking in a design. We heard the same complaint over and over from OEMs, startups, and engineering teams: “I just need a real price, and I need it today.”
That’s why we partnered with Boardera — the leading AI quoting platform for PCB assembly — and built RapidRFQ. Upload your design files, hit submit, and get a real, manufacturable quote from Amtech in minutes. Learn more at www.buildamtech.com/rapidrfq.
What RapidRFQ Does For You
RapidRFQ puts the full power of Boardera’s AI quoting platform behind Amtech’s assembly capabilities — so your RFQ gets real pricing, real sourcing, and a real path to production. No more spreadsheets bouncing back and forth.
🔍
Instant BOM Scrubbing
Upload your BOM in any format. RapidRFQ automatically scrubs, normalizes, and sources every line item against 400+ connected vendors — returning real-time pricing, availability, and lead times in minutes.
🧮
Automated Pricing
Boardera’s AI reads your design files — Gerbers, CPL, pick-and-place — and applies Amtech’s specific labor rates, SMT complexity factors, and attrition rules. Every quote reflects true manufacturing cost.

Quick-Turn Visibility
See lead times up front. Whether you need a 5-day prototype turn or a scheduled production run, RapidRFQ shows you exactly what’s achievable before you commit.
OUR STORY
Why We Built RapidRFQ
When you’re chasing a prototype deadline or trying to lock in a production window, every day spent waiting on an RFQ is a day you don’t have. Traditional quote cycles take 3–7 business days — sometimes longer. And when the quote finally comes back, the components have shifted, the pricing is stale, or half the lines need to be re-quoted.
The traditional RFQ process is reactive, slow, and error-prone. RapidRFQ fixes that.
How RapidRFQ Adds Value To Your Team
✅
Compress Your Design Cycles
Iterate on revisions faster. Get real pricing before DVT — not after tooling is cut.
✅
Real Sourcing, Not Estimates
Every line is priced against live vendor data — not placeholder pricing that shifts at PO time.
✅
Hit Prototype Deadlines
5–10 day prototype assembly with pricing you can lock in today. Quick-turn is the norm here.
✅
Less Sourcing Back-and-Forth
Sourcing stops chasing quotes. Engineering stops waiting. Everyone sees the same data.
✅
Backed By A Real Manufacturer
RapidRFQ isn’t a marketplace. Every quote is priced against Amtech’s actual plant capabilities in Troy, MI.
Made By A Manufacturer, For Engineering Teams
Amtech has been building complex electronics assemblies since 1998. We’ve seen firsthand how much project velocity gets lost in the quoting phase — customers waiting days for a price on a PCBA they needed yesterday, sourcing teams chasing components line by line, and engineers making cost decisions on guesswork.
We partnered with Boardera — a Siemens Solution Partner and the leading AI quoting platform for PCB assembly — to plug their automation engine directly into our plant’s capabilities. The result is RapidRFQ: real quotes from a real manufacturer, in minutes.
