Sound familiar??? These are just a few of the symptoms you may be experiencing with your Electronics Manufacturing Services Supplier. Diagnosing the symptoms and discovering the root cause is challenging, however the rewards are well worth the journey. We all experience pain - whether you're feeling Chronic pain or Breakthrough pain with your PCB Assemblies and Box Builds business partner, it should not be overlooked. Sometimes the most difficult task is finding the source of your pain and working through it. ~Sabrina Beck, Altek Electronics Follow this link to read the rest of the article, including Root Cause, Cure and Upside.

From driverless cars to smart homes, new applications are changing the way we design and build boards. New products require smaller board sizes and a tighter footprint. This is why board layout is more important than ever. With less real estate, it’s tempting to place components too close together, creating manufacturing issues that can be compounded on panelized products. Some common board failures can be attributed to design oversights. Make sure that your CM’s process includes a DFM review as a part of their normal business practice. For example, they can identify potential issues with blind or buried vias caused by insufficient copper thickness or stacking. Layouts may not allow adequate spacing for proper thermal distribution during reflow or proper space for ........"

They've got an idea, and they're trying to figure out how to get it prototyped and ultimately manufactured with as little up-front cost as possible. These are some of my favorite calls to take, because while I certainly don't know everything, I've been working in manufacturing services long enough that I can usually offer some good advise to get them headed in the right direction. If it's a mechanical product and depending on the product or idea, and the first step might be to get the product into SOLIDWORKS or some other CAD file for a 3D printed version (full scale or miniaturized) to test the form and fit of the item before investing monies in tooling and minimum order quantities. Protyping of electronic or electro-mechanical product usually requires a different type and level of documentation, including assembly drawings, BOM's (Bills of Materials), gerber files, program files, etc. Some of my more interesting "Maker" calls have been: * An elderly man wondering if it was possible to 3D print his dentures (a replacement version). [we declined :)] * A finishing lure designer who needed molds made for some new designs * A renovator of classic cars who needed some replacement parts made * An inventor of a new shower-aid product * A museum needing a 3D printed replica of a statue (the original is on display at the Smithsonian) * A crab fisherman wanting to save crab lives by using 3D printed crab on his boat tours  I work with Makers and OEM's from all market segments, and help with new product development, new product introduction, and manufacturing support from prototyping all the way up to production quantities. If you think I might be able to be of help, please call or write. I'd love to chat!  HOPEWELL COMPANIES provides experienced representation of test and manufacturing services and solutions.
