Smart manufacturing for electronics: Providing a fully digitalized strategy that integrates PCB and mechanical flows

This white paper describes a transformative approach to electronics manufacturing made possible by a deep understanding of the electronics industry and the needs driving it today. It describes in more detail a completely digitalized strategy that supports both printed circuit board (PCB) and mechanical design and manufacturing, uniting the entire product lifecycle – from idea and production to customers and back. In a consumer climate that demands new products at an unprecedented rate, this approach can reduce time-to-market by up to 50 percent, shrink development costs by as much as 25 percent and enable you to achieve near perfect product quality.
