August Design007 Magazine: PCB Design Cost Drivers
August 8, 2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Because 70 percent of the manufacturing costs of a product are determined in the design cycle, every decision a designer makes has some effect–good or bad–on the manufacturing cost, as well as the cost of the final product.
Fortunately, cost adders can be kept at bay: Designers can employ hundreds of tips, tricks, and techniques to keep costs down.
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value. When every decision has ramifications downstream, the more you know, the better.
