New Book Strengthens the Relationship Between Designer and Manufacturer
July 18, 2023 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: Less than a minute

I-007eBooks is pleased to announce the release of the latest book in its The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to…™ series.
The Printed Circuit Designer's Guide to... Manufacturing Driven Design, brought to you by Siemens and I-007eBooks, introduces a new process workflow for optimizing your design in a way that is a distinct evolution from DFM.
Author Max Clark explores some of the factors that present challenges to an efficient DFM process. While some hurdles are internal, it is often the manufacturing processes required to make various technologies that complicate the design review process. Readers will learn some useful anecdotes and be better able to understand that the path forward is one that strengthens the relationship between designer and manufacturer.
According to peer reviewer Ammar Abusham, “This book effectively addresses the need for early integration of manufacturing elements into the design process. In an industry racing against time, MDD is the key to staying ahead.”

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
03/28/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007I’ve spent my week recovering from a busy and interesting week in Anaheim for the 25th IPC APEX EXPO. I think back to my first APEX EXPO, and the changes since then are too numerous to count. I first attended in 2004, also in Anaheim, back when there was almost no design content in the conference or expo portions of the show. It was just a few years after the downturn, and attendees and exhibitors alike were skittish, almost afraid to show confidence in our industry. A few unemployed design friends handed out copies of their resumes. Travel budgets were still down, and the aisles weren’t exactly packed with traffic.
