Technological Definition

Get the best Technological framework for your design teams

Among the first design steps is the technological definition. This is the key to both performances and a successful manufacturing. Although a must for any challenging system, even the simplest product deserves an adequate technological framework for a cost efficient manufacturing and trouble free operation.

Materials selection

For an efficient use of materials we carefully select their properties for electrical, thermomechanical and economical performances.

Through the use of IPC-4xxx standards designations we secure the best cost/availability/performances trade-off.

Manufacturing, Assembly and Test strategy

Avoid costly late design changes by deciding about your manufacturing strategy since the beginning. This includes Testing and Quality Assurance planning.

As a trained IPC member the Design For Manufacturing, Design For Assembly and Design For Test methods are our daily routine.

Define the design rules

Manufacturing, Assembly, Test and Reliability, all these fields require perfectly defined design rules. Then your teams can focus on what they do best: functional design.
