Electronic products are more than just printed circuit boards (PCBs). PCB designers create the boards (components, copper traces, silkscreens) in the context of a specific device. They have to closely collaborate with the mechanical engineers who define the shape of boards and their enclosures, including mounting holes and the placement of critical components, to have […]
ECAD/MCAD capability keeps electronic and mechanical designs in sync
In the process of designing electronic products for industries like IoT, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation—mechanical and electrical engineers face multiple challenges. One of the greatest sources of frustration happens when mechanical and PCB designers collaborate on the same electronic design assemblies. During the design process of any complex electronics product, both mechanical and PCB […]
