This is how Design for Manufacturing (DFM) works

Many parameters in PCB design seem simple. But in practice they are far more complex than they appear at first glance. Saar Drimer, electronics designer and technical editor, explains these parameters with examples and shows potential pitfalls. In this 6-part series, Saar also gives valuable tips for a good PCB design that any manufacturer can […]

PCB Assembly requires good BOM and CPL Data

More and more customers are ordering not only their PCBs from us, but also assembled boards. Ordering prototypes from a single source has decisive advantages: In addition to the normal data needed to manufacture your PCB we require these data files: The BOM is usually an Excel file. It contains information on the components such […]

The History of the Printed Circuit Board

The young engineer Paul Eisler didn’t like the tangle of wires that connected the tubes, coils and resistors in the radios of the 1930s, aptly named bird’s nests. The ingenious idea of the inventor, who had emigrated from Vienna to London, was to print a clear system of conductive paths on a single plane suitable […]

What is Virtual Manufacturing or Digital Twin

Virtual manufacturing or Digital Twin means that we simulate the production of a printed circuit board based on the design data supplied. Using this process, we create an image of what the PCB will look like after it has been manufactured and assembled with electronic components. Of course, our customers also see the result of […]
