PCEA Chapter Webinar: Manufacturing by Design is the New DfM
February 18 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
FreeToday’s SMT and PTH assembly processes are driven by component packaging technology and functional design requirements. These requirements combined with the growth in automobile electrification, space commercialization, wearable/disposable medical electronics and no touchup/rework allowed assembly designs are driving manufacturing/test toward “build right” and increased reliability requirements. With this transition, DfM needs to migrate away from general assembly design guidelines primarily driven by general assembly equipment/process capability toward component/printed board specific driven assembly understanding the requirements and tolerances of each solder connection on a single device location on the assembly. Manufacturing now has to be able to report design issues not only from assembly level effects/process customization but also to be able to communicate with designers on potential functional design mitigation strategies and/or cost impacts. Manufacturing by design is now required to match the assembly/test processes to the functional requirements of the design and address when traditional material limitations, industry standards and assembly tolerances are not adequately addressed with traditional DfM reviews.
