DSL Electronic Manufacture

Everything you Need to Know About our No NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) Fees

Free NRE

Forget About Paying Non Recurring Engineering Fees

Finding the right EMS provider is about finding a manufacturer who can combine electrical engineering excellence with value for money. The DSL pledge on NRE fees is an example of how we tick both those boxes.

NRE fees can make getting a project off the ground a costly process and discourage innovation and development. The fact that we don’t charge them at all is emblematic of our commitment to working in genuine partnership with our clients.

Cutting NRE Fees Without Cutting Corners

NRE fees refer to the one-off costs associated with developing, designing and testing a new product. When you’re taking an idea from an initial concept and working to turn it into a fully-fledged, manufacture-ready design, NRE fees can soon add up.

The costs of configuring the production of a bespoke PCB tailored to the requirements of a specific project can mean dealing with everything from the end user cases to functionality and budget. These costs can often be front loaded, as attempts are made to lower future production costs and keep things like the bill of materials (BOM) down.

At DSL we like to work in close partnership with our clients, and that means that we treat your new product as our new product. We don’t want concerns over mounting NRE fees to get in the way of undertaking the most thorough development process possible. So we just don’t charge them.

“ We’ve worked with DSL for over 20 years and they’ve managed the manufacture of two key complex PCB assemblies of ours for a number of years now. Even during the particularly tumultuous times of the global component crisis, they’ve always managed to find a way to deliver what we needed and when we needed it ”

Optimising Manufacture Without NRE Fees

The earliest stages of any EMS project are all about getting the details right. Make the right choices now and you’ll enjoy better results later on. Those results will include an efficiently functioning product manufactured with the minimum of waste and the lowest possible cost per unit.

The removal of NRE fees means that our clients feel able to devote as much time and energy as possible to the initial development or refinement of their product, working side by side with our expert electronic design engineering team. Everything from inspection and testing to the components needed will be optimised before we press ‘Go’ on production.

Why Early Decisions Matter

Making the right choices at the earliest stages of developing a project can save a huge amount of time and money further down the line. Get things wrong, on the other hand, and you may find yourself having to correct mistakes post-production at much greater expense. The knowledge that we don’t charge NRE fees means that our clients feel free to take the time needed to ensure that every detail of the project is as finely tuned as possible from day one.
