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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Editor's note: This article addresses the need for designers of printed circuit boards for nextgen ICs to be savvy about package-on-package technology. New ways of working with sub-assembly printed ...

94% of all board data submitted each year has at least one error, which went undetected from when the client designed the board. Fortunately, Advanced Assembly checks every order to help catch these ...
