Improving ECAD/MCAD Co-Design with IDX | Printed Circuit Podcast Episode 6

ECAD/MCAD co-design is important for companies that need to create powerful products fast and efficiently. However, challenges such as their siloed nature and different data formats make it difficult for the two to work together seamlessly. This leads to a loss of time and resources as the company is forced to undertake multiple respins necessitated by avoidable errors.
In this episode, you’ll learn about the challenges that ECAD/MCAD co-design faces and how it impacts companies. You’ll also hear about the impact of the IDX standard on the industry’s ability to collaborate. Additionally, you’ll hear about PCB design best practices and how IDX fits in with them.
