June 20, 2024 | NEOTechEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

NEOTech, a leading provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), design engineering, and supply chain solutions in the high-tech industrial, medical device, and aerospace/defense markets, is excited to announce a significant investment in and acquisition of state-of-the-art three-dimensional (3D) Computed Tomography (CT) scan equipment for its engineering laboratory. This strategic addition allows NEOTech to offer customers an enhanced process validation and failure analysis tool for critical electronic components and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs).
3D CT scanning is one of the most advanced measurement technologies available today for precision manufacturing. This cutting-edge technology enables manufacturers to significantly reduce time-to-market, project costs, and risks. By employing 3D CT scan equipment, NEOTech ensures that its manufacturing process is further refined to conduct non-destructive analysis on first article inspections and troubleshoot high-cost product assemblies without causing damage to the unit.
Emilio Ramirez, NEOTech’s Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the importance of this investment: “With the increasing density of PCBAs and the growing number of layers and component I/O counts, the need for advanced process development and failure analysis tools has never been greater. By incorporating 3D CT scanning technology, NEOTech is enhancing our expertise in electronics manufacturing and developing advanced methodologies to meet the demands of our customers’ higher complexity and higher density assemblies. These improvements to our engineering lab and processes ensure our customers that NEOTech can inspect, analyze, and troubleshoot their product assemblies with ease and confidence.”
3D CT Scan Manufacturing Equipment to promote quality - NEOTechNEOTech has built a strong reputation as an industry leader in EMS, and this acquisition further solidifies its commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for its customers. The integration of 3D CT scanning technology into NEOTech’s engineering laboratory is a testament to its dedication to continuous improvement and excellence in manufacturing processes.
NEOTech continues to prioritize innovation and customer-centric solutions, ensuring that its services consistently meet the evolving needs of products used in mission-critical applications. The company’s goal is to successfully convert customers’ product technology into engineered products, providing the most capable supply base, manufacturing products with care and delivering them on time. The company is large enough to offer refined Tier 1 tools, processes, and capabilities, yet small enough to provide individualized care and service. NEOTech provides tailored project-by-project services that focus on each customer’s individual, unique needs. The result is a true collaboration in which the customer’s needs are met – or exceeded – in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner.

Bridging the Gap Between PCB Designers and Fabricators
04/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWith today’s advanced EDA tools, designing complex PCBs in the virtual world does not necessarily mean they can be built in the real world. This makes the relationship between a PCB designer and a fabricator pivotal to the success of a project. In keeping with solid design for manufacturing (DFM) practices, clear and frequent communication is needed to dial and lock in design constraints that meet expectations while addressing manufacturing concerns.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
