Current IssueDesigning Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.
Training New Designers
Where will we find the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers? Once we locate them, how will we train and educate them? What will PCB designers of the future need to master to deal with tomorrow’s technology?

EMA Webinar: Next Generation MCAD/ECAD for SOLIDWORKS
May 9, 2024 | EMA Design AutomationEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Experiencing challenges with MCAD/ECAD collaboration? Do update and revisions take too long? Are you finding integration issues too late in the design process? Does the fidelity of the ECAD data you receive prevent you from building a full digital prototype of your design before manufacture?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you are not alone. MCAD/ECAD is a significant challenge and pinch point in the overall design process and with increasing product complexity and compressed schedules the challenge is only getting more severe. Fortunately, Cadence & Dassault have partnered to help design teams solve these problems through enhanced integration between the MCAD and ECAD design software.
Learn how the MCAD and ECAD experts at Hawk Ridge and EMA can help you solve your MCAD/ECAD integration challenges with this unique collaboration environment.
What You Will Learn:
- Common challenges in ECAD/MCAD collaboration and how to overcome them.
- How Cadence & Dassault have partnered to solve these challenges.
- Importance of native integration for MCAD design continuity
- How to effectively collaborate with ECAD on design choices and libraries
- Preview of next generation 3DX cloud connector

Connect the Dots: Involving Manufacturers Earlier Prevents Downstream Issues
04/16/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIf you have read any of my earlier columns, you know I am passionate about helping designers design for the reality of manufacturing. Designing for manufacturability (DFM) is a team sport. DFM is a design process that looks forward to the manufacturing process and integrates with it so that manufacturing requirements and capabilities can be accurately reflected in the design work.
Global PCB Connections: The Next Wave of HDI PCBs– How Design Engineers Can Stay Ahead
04/17/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsHigh density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards have come a long way from their origins as a niche technology for miniaturized applications. Today, HDI PCBs are at the forefront of innovation, driven by an insatiable demand for faster, smaller, and more powerful electronic devices. As consumer electronics, 5G infrastructure, and AI-driven systems advance, design engineers must stay ahead of the curve to ensure their PCB designs meet evolving industry demands.
