4 The PCB Design Magazine • January 2017 PCB designers have been focusing on good DFM prac- tices for decades now. But many fabricators still see many of the same old design mistakes and miscues, not to mention a few new ones. What's going on? In this issue, designer and CID instructor Kelly Dack explains why solid DFM techniques sometimes require designers to take back control from their increasingly automated EDA tools. Next, in an interview, Gary Ferrari of FTG Corp. discusses the art and science of DFM techniques, as well as some common problems that designers could easily avoid. We've also included a handy index of re- cent DFM articles.
