January 10, 2025 | IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
IPC announced the launch of a new training course: PCB Design for Manufacturability.
This three-week online program, taught by an industry expert with over 40 years of experience, is designed to equip PCB designers with the knowledge and skills to reduce or eliminate design, documentation, and capability issues that often arise during PCB fabrication.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Understand the importance of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) in the PCB design process.
- Learn how to identify and address potential manufacturing challenges early in the design phase.
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of PCB fabrication processes and capabilities.
- Develop best practices for creating manufacturable PCB designs.
Course Content:
- DfM Course Introduction, Fabricator Capability and Materials
- Panelization, Stackups and Surface Finishes
- Conductive Features, Holes/Vias and Other Mechanical Features
- Masks and Inks, Impedance and Signal Loss, and Electrical Test
- FPC, Documentation and Specifications
Participants will receive valuable resources, including:
- PCB Fabrication Design Rules: An editable document to help designers avoid common design issues and ensure compatibility with fabricator capabilities.
- Rigid PCB Fabrication Acceptance Specification: An editable document outlining recommended qualification and performance specifications for all IPC-6012 requirements.
Course Dates:
February 11, 2025 – February 27, 2025
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM CST

Flexible Thinking: Another PCB Design Paradigm Shift in the Works
01/09/2025 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingWe all read from the same technology scriptures and sing from the same design hymnals that serve the global congregation of printed circuit manufacturers and users, though there are still a few iconoclasts and heretics to challenge them in the service of largely positive change. Even subtle changes are hard to effect. People, especially those in manufacturing, do not like change because it disrupts the manufacturing floor routine. However, change, as even the ancient philosophers knew, is constant and required for continued growth and evolution.
