Design-for-assembly (DFA) and design-for-manufacture (DFM) techniques can be applied to products assembled manually or automatically or manufactured by specific techniques, such as machining, die ...

A number of years ago, the packages of electronic systems were only intended to protect the circuit from mechanical stresses and to realize a simple fan-out from the close spacing of connections on ...

The AI server boom is pushing manufacturers to transform how they design and build high-performance hardware systems. Spearheading this shift are advancements in virtual simulation, which bridge the ...

The design stage of a product’s life cycle is arguably one of the most crucial decision making periods, as 70 to 80 percent of the overall manufacturing cost can be projected at this stage. Engineers ...

Exact part location and minimal clearances seem like the Holy Grail of precision mechanical systems. But insisting on the slimmest tolerances can make assembly and disassembly difficult. Assembly ...

Chip design companies and package assembly houses have no unified signoff verification process to ensure that an IC package meets manufacturability and performance requirements. Packages need a ...

Many engineers, especially those just starting out, ask questions like “Where can I find the cheapest PCB assembly service?” or “How can I reduce my PCB assembly cost?” To tell the truth, there’s ...

[Will Cogley] makes eyeballs; hey, everyone needs a hobby, and we don’t judge. Like all his animatronics, his eyeballs are wondrous mechanisms, but they do tend toward being a bit complex, especially ...
