Mentor Webinar: Getting Your Design Done Fast and Right
August 6, 2020 | Mentor, a Siemens businessEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
“Do you want that design done fast or do you want it right?”
You’ve probably heard that expression before, and probably had a chuckle. That’s just the way it is, right?
Webinar presenters Don Kost and Pat McGoff of Valor say, “Have it both ways!” They invite you to check out their on-demand webinar “Optimize New Product Introductions — Going Fast, Right or Both.”
Attendees will learn how DFM software lets designers check to ensure manufacturability—of both the fabricated board and the assembled product—as your design progresses.
This webinar will explain:
- How DFM decisions impact yield, cost, and reliability of your designs
- How DFM tools help you optimize your designs for manufacturing
- How running DFM software embedded with EDA software facilitates better designs faster
Who should attend:
- PCB design managers and designers
- DFM and NPI engineers
- Manufacturing engineers
- Supplier quality engineers

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Rein in Your Design Constraints
07/10/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonI remember the long hours spent at the light table, carefully laying down black tape to shape each trace, cutting and aligning pads with surgical precision on sheets of Mylar. I often went home with nicks on my fingers from the X-Acto knives and bits of tape all over me. It was as much an art form as it was an engineering task—tactile and methodical, requiring the patience of a sculptor. A lot has changed in PCB design over the years.
