Print them at 50% scale for a far cuter (and much less useful) result. [Jacob Stanton]’s design for 3D-printable, stacking and locking boxes is a great example of design for manufacturability (DFM).

Fast product development is rarely about rushing fabrication; it is about making smarter design choices early, so prototypes ...

Smart manufacturing is a term used to describe a connected and seamless flow of intellectual property (IP) to all teams involved, from design to manufacturing. It connects designs and data in a ...

FLO, offers practical guidance on leveraging artificial intelligence, digital twins and streamlined workflows to improve ...

Subscribers to Altium 365 can now place an order to produce their PCB assembly without ever leaving the electronics design environment. Developed in collaboration with MacroFab, Altium’s Altimade ...

Computer Aided Design (CAD), which since the late 1980s has been the bedrock of how manufacturers design, test, and make their products. GenAI’s ability to create CAD models from simple text marks a ...

Artificial intelligence in chip design is one of the most promising applications of the technology in manufacturing. It promises to make chips faster, more accurately and with less strain on the ...

Let’s say you’re about to design a brand new product. You have a lot of work ahead of you. You need to define the specs, create the design, source suppliers, check in with experts in legal and in ...

It's often been said that form follows function. I prefer to think that function drives form. Unfortunately, just the opposite is true for modern CAD tools -- function is a slave to form (or geometry) ...
