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.

DownStream Webinar May 6: PCB Documentation Tips
April 30, 2020 | DownStream TechnologiesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Current tools and methodologies for PCB documentation are essentially workarounds that, rather than automating, in fact create obstacles to quickly producing detailed and accurate PCB documentation.
What is needed is a new approach to PCB documentation—a standalone PCB document authoring tool, developed in the style of Microsoft Office, which quickly creates electronic drawings to drive the PCB fabrication and assembly processes; a tool that “knows” it is creating a PCB document and leverages the PCB CAD data to automatically create and intelligently link PCB views, details, document notes, external documents, URLs and multimedia content.
Attendees will learn how to use BluePrint for Circuit Boards to take control of their documents through automation, while enhancing detail, accuracy, and instructions. High-quality PCB documentation leads to fewer questions, fewer errors, lower overall costs, and huge time savings.
This webinar takes place twice on Wednesday, May 6, 2020.
