Participants were able see all of DDM Novastar's products first-hand in a single location, ask technical questions, meet the team that supports the equipment, and take a tour of the company's exclusive U.S. manufacturing and assembly facility.
The Open House featured hands-on equipment demonstrations including screen printers, pick & place machines, reflow ovens and selective solder machines, a custom reel-to-reel assembly line, and feeders, controls, and ancillary components.
