EMA Webinar: Next Generation MCAD/ECAD for SOLIDWORKS
May 9, 2024 | EMA Design AutomationEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Experiencing challenges with MCAD/ECAD collaboration? Do update and revisions take too long? Are you finding integration issues too late in the design process? Does the fidelity of the ECAD data you receive prevent you from building a full digital prototype of your design before manufacture?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you are not alone. MCAD/ECAD is a significant challenge and pinch point in the overall design process and with increasing product complexity and compressed schedules the challenge is only getting more severe. Fortunately, Cadence & Dassault have partnered to help design teams solve these problems through enhanced integration between the MCAD and ECAD design software.
Learn how the MCAD and ECAD experts at Hawk Ridge and EMA can help you solve your MCAD/ECAD integration challenges with this unique collaboration environment.
What You Will Learn:
- Common challenges in ECAD/MCAD collaboration and how to overcome them.
- How Cadence & Dassault have partnered to solve these challenges.
- Importance of native integration for MCAD design continuity
- How to effectively collaborate with ECAD on design choices and libraries
- Preview of next generation 3DX cloud connector

The Key to First-pass Success in PCB Design
04/10/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectIn the dynamic world of PCB manufacturing, achieving first-pass success hinges on more than just cutting-edge equipment and skilled teams. At Summit Interconnect, we have seen countless successful launches of advanced HDI designs that can be traced directly to engagement between designers and fabricators early in the design phase. Unfortunately, collaboration in the PCB industry often begins only after problems arise—such as field failures, assembly fallout, or low fabrication yields. This reactive approach is the wrong starting point for collaboration.

The Shaughnessy Report: Always With the Negative Waves
04/09/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportWhen I started covering PCB design in the ‘90s, RF designers comprised a small percentage of the design community. Other than cellphones and handheld GPS devices, RF wasn’t seen very often outside of military, aerospace, and law enforcement applications. Now, RF is everywhere. Almost every electronic device in your house and pocket—your cellphone, tablet, laptop, smartwatch, and wireless/smart speaker—contains RF technology. The entire wearable segment is built on RF technology
