Design & Development

Innovative electronic design is the 'life blood' of the electronics industry. Design engineers are constantly being challenged to develop new products with increased functionality at lower cost to accommodate the global thirst for faster, more intelligent and more capable commodities.

Their task in recent years (since the early 1980's) has been made slightly easier by the advent of various advanced software tools such a Computer Aided Engineering packages (CAE).

CAE is a very broad topic and encompasses software and tools capable of aiding the layout of pcbs, the design of new electronic components, 3D Modelling and Rendering.

As a result standard design rules and algorithms can now be applied to the new product design process enable quicker, more accurate designs to emerge. In addition, the extensive us of tools such as Design Failure Modes Effects Analysis (DFMEA) has resulted in solutions being developed to existing problems, culminating in new products being inherently more reliable than their predecessors.

Development cycles can take from a few weeks to many months depending upon the complexity of the product.

Once at the product development phase has been completed CAD/CAM software packages can then used to generate design drawings and produce products using computer controlled production machines.
