How Simulating for PCB Manufacturability Drives Profitability

Smart connected devices are everywhere, in homes, in transportation, and at work. This means electronic system design (ESD) is having a greater influence on almost every type of product requiring new simulation tools to help achieve electronic, electrical, mechanical, thermal, and connectivity goals. New printed circuit board development opportunities also bring new production challenges for manufacturers, who must ensure process efficiency starting with identifying potential defects and optimizing for manufacturing in the design phase.
