The design stage of a product’s life cycle is arguably one of the most crucial decision making periods, as 70 to 80 percent of the overall manufacturing cost can be projected at this stage. Engineers ...

[Will Cogley] makes eyeballs; hey, everyone needs a hobby, and we don’t judge. Like all his animatronics, his eyeballs are wondrous mechanisms, but they do tend toward being a bit complex, especially ...

A Michigan-based company is putting a new wrinkle on the decades-old concept of using automated guided vehicles (AGVs) on the factory floor. Combining a battery-free design with a smart electronic ...

Process design kits (PDKs) play an essential in ensuring that silicon technology can proceed from one generation to the next in a manner that design tools can keep up with. No such infrastructure has ...

A new IEEE technical paper titled “Package Assembly Design Kits (PADK’s)- The Future of Advanced Wafer-Level Manufacturing” was written by researchers from Amkor. Find the technical paper here.

Some joint-design considerations are universal; others vary with the assembly methods used. Each joining technique has particular design requirements, while certain joint requirements may suggest a ...

Van Horn, whose resume includes engineering efforts on the Madison Square Garden Sphere in Las Vegas, discusses how combining MBSE with laser metrology improves accuracy from design to installation.

With wavering support for electric-vehicle (EV) subsidies in some jurisdictions as well as fierce competition, improving manufacturability of EVs is a critical responsibility of electronic design ...

Bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. The research could revolutionize therapies for complex conditions like autoimmune ...
