Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

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
