Design for manufacturing is a problem that has always plagued engineering teams. Product designs that look great as computer-aided design (CAD) often run into real-world obstacles when they reach the ...
Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...
The manufacturing world is undergoing a profound transformation based on new design technologies that couple 3D representations of highly complex structures with artificial intelligence, model-based ...
How does a metal part go from a basic idea to millions of identical, high-performance components? Doug Stevens of Stevens Company, Inc. addresses this question in a HelloNation article focused on the ...
Electronics design engineers spend substantial effort on schematics, simulation, and layout. Yet, a component’s long-term success also depends on how well its physical form aligns with downstream ...
As silicon photonics manufacturing gains momentum with additional foundry and 300mm offerings, process variation issues are coming to light. Variability in silicon processing affects the waveguide ...
For decades there have been five basic types of manufacturing processes. They are distinct. Great design engineers understand the nuances of these processes and tailor their designs accordingly. There ...
