Estimated reading time: 1 minute

I-Connect007 is excited to announce the release of Design for Reality: Scaling from Prototype to Volume Production, written by Matt Stevenson of ASC Sunstone Circuits. This essential resource and companion guide builds on the foundational insights presented in The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... Designing for Reality and delivers advanced strategies for scaling PCB production.

In his original book, Stevenson detailed the unwritten rules, best practices, and design requirements that enable designers to create manufacturable and robust PCB designs. Drawing from Sunstone Circuits’ 50 years of manufacturing expertise, Stevenson emphasized the importance of understanding the nuances of the production process to achieve reliability and cost-efficiency in PCB designs.

Now, The Companion Guide to... Designing for Reality takes these lessons to the next level, addressing the complexities of scaling from prototype to mass production. It provides guidance on:

• Selecting the right manufacturing partner for each stage of production
• Anticipating and mitigating common scaling challenges
• Ensuring cost-effective, high-quality designs for large-scale production

Whether you're a designer working on initial prototypes or scaling up to mass production, this guide is an invaluable tool for navigating the intricate realities of PCB manufacturing.
