FAQ – Frequently asked questions about electronics manufacturing consulting in Switzerland
When is PCB design consulting beneficial?
Consulting is particularly beneficial in the early development phase. By designing with manufacturability in mind, costs can be reduced, risks minimised, and later modifications avoided.
What is meant by Design for Manufacturing (DfM)?
Design for Manufacturing refers to designing an assembly with a focus on efficient, stable, and cost-effective manufacturing. The aim is to optimally align the design with the subsequent production process.
Does SMTEC also support existing assemblies?
Yes. Existing designs can be reviewed and selectively optimised to simplify manufacturing, reduce costs, or improve feasibility.
How closely is the consulting linked to manufacturing?
The consulting is based on many years of experience in electronics manufacturing. This ensures that practical manufacturing requirements flow directly into the design recommendations.
Does SMTEC support projects through to implementation?
SMTEC provides technical support throughout your development phase and facilitates a smooth transition into manufacturing through clear recommendations and structured coordination.
