Ventec’s Martin Cotton to Present Paper on PCB Design Process at SMART Group European Conference
September 7, 2015 | Ventec EuropeEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec Europe, a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, today announced that Martin Cotton, Director OEM Technology, will present a paper entitled 'Making the right decisions at the right time in the PCB design process' at the 2015 SMART Group European Conference & Exhibition. The conference will be held on the 22-23rd September at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), one of the UK’s leading science and research facilities, located in Teddington, London.
In PCB design, a key decision influencing the process and the eventual outcomes (quality, yield, cost) is the selection of material, particularly when the PCB in question requires significant performance parameters to be met. Martin's presentation will highlight the processes that lead to successful design and will explore how errors can be avoided that lead to risk, potential problems and compromises.
Martin commented: 'Over two days, The SMART Group Conference & Exhibition offers delegates and key suppliers of materials, equipment and testing services the opportunity to meet, network and discuss the latest industry developments and trends. Ventec and the SMART Group have a strong history together and we are excited about our participation at this year's European Conference.'

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
