APEX 2024 Special Event: iNEMI Roadmap Workshop: Future Evolution of PCB Design-for-X

iNEMI Roadmap Workshop: Future Evolution of PCB Design-for-X
Tuesday, April 9, 2024


About this Workshop

PCB design for new product introduction is no longer an activity that is neatly isolated from other system attributes.  Design now needs to look beyond achieving the desired core functionality, it must also model interactions with: 

• Complex system architectures
• Manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure
• Subsequent board and system assembly
• Sustainability issues

Design and modelling tools increasingly need to be multi-physics, multi-scale and across the full product lifecycle.

This session reviewed existing content and insights from the iNEMI Roadmap on topics such as PCBs, board assembly, sustainability and complex integrated systems. The session included a presentation on the evolution of design-for-X in the context of PCBs and PCB board assembly.
