Current IssueLearning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.
Training New Designers
Where will we find the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers? Once we locate them, how will we train and educate them? What will PCB designers of the future need to master to deal with tomorrow’s technology?
The Designer of the Future
Our expert contributors peer into their crystal balls and offer their thoughts on the designers and design engineers of tomorrow, and what their jobs will look like.

Nine Dot Connects to Host Free ECAD and MCAD Connectivity Webinar
October 17, 2017 | Nine Dot ConnectsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

Nine Dot Connects is hosting its latest free webinar “Improving the Altium ECAD / MCAD Connectivity Experience” on Wednesday, October 25, 2017 at 11 am (PT) / 2 pm (ET).
In 2008 Altium revolutionized the way we handle information between the ECAD and MCAD tools. This first generation of tools can be summarized as the passing STEP files to and from the ECAD and MCAD tools. Since then, we have been stuck in this 1st generation of what we call mechatronic collaboration.
Through their partnership with SOLIDWORKS, Altium has brought forth the second generation of mechatronic collaboration. This collaboration not only improves the ability to move data between the MCAD and ECAD worlds, it also removes much of the manually administrative tasks that the first generation of collaboration demands. It goes beyond moving STEP files, and in fact, it does not involve moving STEP files.
Join Nine Dot Connects and learn the differences between the two generations of ECAD and MCAD collaboration, and the benefits that the second generation of collaboration brings to the design process.
