Design for Manufacture
Hosted by Electropac Co., Inc.
July 22-23, 2008 - Manchester, N.H.
|
Designing printed boards is more difficult today than ever before. Printed board designers are faced with continuing design issues of surface mount vs. through hole technology, what materials to use, board size and layer count, how to incorporate electrical testing, what new specifications are being used in the design process and many others. The IPC Design for Manufacture (DfM) workshop will acquaint designers with increasingly sophisticated PCB fabrication technologies. The course will address trade-offs for designs that have both through hole and surface mount components; the differences between rigid and flexible printed boards; and the tolerance characteristics that make sense using the capabilities of today’s manufacturing equipment.
Hosted by Electropac Co, this intensive workshop will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 22-23, 2008, at the company's facility in Manchester, N.H. IPC is grateful to Electropac Co. for allowing IPC to present this workshop on-site. Attendees will have a unique opportunity to obtain first-hand information on design issues that affect manufacturing, from information provided during the workshop and the panel discussion at the conclusion of the workshop.
