A digital thread approach to engineering encourages collaboration among engineering disciplines and leads to a simulation-driven digital twin. By adopting a digital thread approach to engineering, ...

The need for Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) began shortly after the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, but it took a hundred years for it to ultimately come into focus in the 1960s, and it ...

As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

Batch processing, or batch production, is a scaled-down version of assembly line production. Products are produced in groups instead of in continuous streams as they are on assembly lines. However, ...

Just like with many other industries, artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing engineering. Even though these technologies are now seemingly "everywhere," we shouldn't overlook how ...

On display at the Design Engineering and Manufacturing Solutions Expo in Tokyo, this pen assembly machine from Keyence is an impressive example of robotic multi-tasking and dexterity – albeit perhaps ...

What is reverse engineering? Tools used to reverse engineer a PCB. Specifics about de-layering Printed-circuit-board (PCB) reverse engineering is a method of analyzing and understanding the design ...
