Zuken USA Issues Call for Papers for Zuken Innovation World 2019
August 16, 2018 | ZukenEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Zuken USA is now accepting abstracts for Zuken Innovation World (ZIW) 2019, to be held on April 15-17 in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The event includes a two-day technical conference and one-day exhibition to be held at the Hilton Head Marriott Resort & Spa.
Abstracts are now being accepted for 45-minute educational presentations. The technical program consists of four tracks focused on the following areas:
- Board design, including SI/PI/EMC, ECAD/MCAD co-design and IC packaging
- Electrical design including wire harness, panel and fluid design
- Design data and library management, including supply chain and PLM integration
- Innovative technologies and design methodologies, including Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
Suggested presentation topics include design disciplines such as PCB, IC packaging, wire harness, control panel and design data management. Industry trends, process innovation and new design methodologies are also topics of interest. Presentations must be noncommercial in nature and should focus on technology, techniques or methodology. Case studies, how-to information and usage tips are favored and individual or team presentations are welcome.
Abstracts of 300 words, along with speaker biographies, should be submitted to Zuken by November 2, 2018. For additional details and deadline information, visit the ZIW Speakers’ Corner.
Education and Innovation
ZIW annually offers more than 40 technical sessions, including Zuken University classes showcasing how-to and best practices for the current and upcoming product releases. Zuken’s Expert Bar provides one-on-one access to Zuken’s technical team, while the Technology Showcase puts our partners’ innovative solutions front and center in a relaxed, interactive environment that encourages networking.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.

Happy’s Tech Talk #28: The Power Mesh Architecture for PCBs
05/07/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkA significant decrease in HDI substrate production cost can be achieved by reducing the number of substrate layers from conventional through-hole multilayers and microvia multilayers of eight, 10, 12 (and more), down to four. Besides reducing direct processing steps, yield will increase as defect producing operations are eliminated.
