70 DESIGN007 MAGAZINE I JANUARY 2025
Every so often,
I'm disappointed
by a high expec-
tation that didn't
work out. Some
of these disap-
pointments in
the PCB design
and manufactur-
ing industry have been related to "new and
advanced" PCB design products or services
which proved to be impracticable for too many
PCB designers.
The Upper Midwest Chapter (UMW) of
the Surface Mount Technology Associa-
tion (SMTA) is excited to announce its
first technical session of 2025, featuring
industry expert Dale Lee presenting "Man-
ufacturing by Design is the New DFM."
This informative session will explore the
concept of "Manufacturing by Design"
(MBDF), a growing trend that emphasizes
designing products with manufacturability
in mind.
IPC has announced the launch of a new training course: PCB
Design for Military & Aerospace Applications. This six-week
program, delivered through a combination of live webinars,
on-demand sessions, and interactive exercises, will address
the unique challenges associated with designing PCBs for
military and aerospace applications.
The Pan-European Electronics Design Conference (PEDC),
co-hosted by FED and IPC, will take place on January 29-30,
2025. This two-day conference, held in English, will bring
together global PCB designers for a comprehensive exchange
of ideas and insights on the latest trends and technologies in
electronics design.
