Current IssueSilicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
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.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

AltiumLive 2018 San Diego is now in the history books. This is the second annual AltiumLive (North America), and it was even better than the first. With nearly 300 hundred participants, from all parts of the country and industry, the event was a huge success.
The event took place in San Diego, California at the Lowes Coronado Bay Resort. Located right on the water, the venue was perfect. The attendees were provided excellent meals throughout the entire event and the views were spectacular.
The Navy even flew a few WWII-era airplanes past during dinner one night.
On the first day, Altium users attended University Day classes to strengthen their Altium tools skills.

Punching Out: North America PCB, EMS M&A Review: The First Six Months of 2024
08/21/2024 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!M&A deal discussions were fairly strong in the North American EMS and PCB sectors in the first half of 2024, but for various reasons, the number of actual closed deals was lower than in the first half of 2023. For example, there were just two PCB deals that closed in the first six months of 2024, both of which were consolidations that were not announced publicly—compared with seven PCB deals completed in the same period in 2023. On the EMS side, eight North American M&A deals were closed through June, compared with eight deals in the first six months of 2024.
