PCB Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Handoff Mistakes to Avoid | Laura Martin, PCB DfM Expert

The EEcosystem Podcast

In this episode, EE and former Lockheed Martin PCB expert join us to discuss why the hand-off between design engineers and their fabricators has become so challenging and problematic. She explains how, in her new role at Summit Interconnect, she is developing a team and a program dedicated to helping support, educate, and empower engineers. She also offers ways to improve your knowledge and skills in DfM best practices.
