“As we continue to expand and increase our technology capabilities in North American this acquisition represents a major step in achieving our goal of being the number one service center in North America,” Polack says. “Our laser photo plotting, scanning, and engineering services including PCB design, reverse engineering, and the sales and service of Orbotech/Camtek equipment combined with CAD/ART photo plotting, photomask and editing services will allow us to meet our customers’ needs both today and in the future. We are very pleased to welcome the CAD/ART team to the “Artnet Pro family.”
Ralph Martino, president of CAD/Art Services, says, "It is both a sad and happy time. For the past 30 years, we have always tried our best to provide outstanding service and a quality product to our clients. I want to personally thank each one of our clients. Without your support, we wouldn't be where we're at today. I have known the new owners, Meir Polack and Roni Hod, basically from the beginning. I know they will be happy and appreciative to continue servicing you and will do an outstanding job.”
He continues, “We are working very hard to make this transition seamless. Just continue to send your jobs as you are now, no changes there. We are looking forward to continuing and supporting you for the future, and keep providing you with the best quality services, as we have been doing for more than 30 years.”

Happy’s Tech Talk #34: Producibility and Other Pseudo-metrics
11/12/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkAs an engineer, I thrive on data, and one of my favorite forms is metrics. However, the one metric that has always challenged me is producibility. I define this as more than just passing a DRC in CAM, but the entire envelope of “simplicity of design,” “suitability for test,” and many more. Yet, producibility seemed to be different for different engineers and we had no clear way to establish and define producibility other than opinion. When I worked at HP, the company invested in a methodology called design for manufacturing and assembly using the GE/Hitachi Methodology and Dewhurst-Boothroyd software. Finally, I had a methodology that created a producibility score.

Root-cause Analysis and Problem-solving
11/01/2024 | Happy Holden, I-Connect007An essential skill for any process engineer in printed circuit fabrication is the ability to conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) and problem-solving. These are related to TQC and Six Sigma applications and are essential for customer support and continued profitability. All engineers will encounter these methods sooner or later, but it will likely be sooner if you are in product or process engineering in manufacturing.
