Success by Design
We have skilled design engineers on staff here at Caltronics who together represent a cumulative 45 years with the company, and with that tenure comes a breadth of experience. Detailed below are some projects they appreciated working on, and an explanation of what Caltronics Design & Assembly has accomplished in the past.
PCB profitability with Design for Test (DFT)
Design for test/testing/testability. Design for manufacture. Design for assembly. Design for…well, you get the picture. There are a lot of “design for’s” to keep in mind. But they all boil down to one concept: design for profitability.
That’s especially important when considering PCB design for test (DFT). PCBs can be complex, and they’re expected to work without errors. Inspection and testing are essential to PCB manufacturing but can be time-consuming and costly.
How can you accommodate inspection and testing requirements and keep a product profitable?
PCB Design: Design for Manufacturability
Prior planning prevents poor performance, they say. With PCBs, effective planning involves Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA). That means thinking past the “sky’s the limit” PCB-design phase to consider the realities of putting a product together.
DFMA principles focus on creating an efficient manufacturing process that lowers production costs.
Get What You want from Your PCB Team
At Caltronics we have found the importance of communicating clearly with our clients to make sure the product they receive accomplishes what they need and want it to do. That’s why our PCB teams are so important to us and our clients.
How do I Improve My Design?
How do I Improve My Design? At Caltronics, we have been a part of many interesting designs and projects. Sometimes these prove to be great lessons for us that we carry into new work. One of those lessons we learned is about optimizing a project for our clients.
