Zuken On-demand Webinar: MCAD Integration for Wire Harness Design
May 4, 2020 | ZukenEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Do you need to move data back and forth between your MCAD and harness design tools and processes? Design processes that span multiple tool domains require design data to move from one domain to the other to resolve and verify design elements. But, moving data between the two domains can be problematic. This on-demand webinar will look at the challenges and solutions for bridging MCAD and wire harness design.
Zuken's E3.3DTransformer has the capability to import 3D-based M-CAD models from various authoring systems like Dassault Systems CATIA, Siemens NX or native, open-standardized 3D exchange formats like JT and extract electrical, harness-related topological information for re-use in subsequent harness engineering processes and tools. Along with a wide variety of formats supported E3.3DTransformer features a simplification and healing functionality for extracted harness topology structure like the reduction of obsolete vertices or join of not-coherent segments. With an easy to use UI and short setup time, you could be on your way to a quicker and money-saving design process.

Connect the Dots: Involving Manufacturers Earlier Prevents Downstream Issues
04/16/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIf you have read any of my earlier columns, you know I am passionate about helping designers design for the reality of manufacturing. Designing for manufacturability (DFM) is a team sport. DFM is a design process that looks forward to the manufacturing process and integrates with it so that manufacturing requirements and capabilities can be accurately reflected in the design work.
Global PCB Connections: The Next Wave of HDI PCBs– How Design Engineers Can Stay Ahead
04/17/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsHigh density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards have come a long way from their origins as a niche technology for miniaturized applications. Today, HDI PCBs are at the forefront of innovation, driven by an insatiable demand for faster, smaller, and more powerful electronic devices. As consumer electronics, 5G infrastructure, and AI-driven systems advance, design engineers must stay ahead of the curve to ensure their PCB designs meet evolving industry demands.
