WEdirekt and CadSoft Start Collaboration
September 30, 2015 | Würth ElektronikEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Würth Elektronik, the printed circuit board manufacturer and CadSoft, the software developer are entering a cooperation. This benefits both customers of the WEdirekt online shop and the users of EAGLE software.
“With the direct integration of the online shop into the EAGLE software, we are offering our customers an even faster way to correctly order their circuit boards via WEdirekt”, says Carina Harnisch, Head of WEdirekt.
The automatic application of the technical parameters is performed with only a click of the mouse, with the “PCB - Quote button”. The customer is able to quickly and easily request the quantity, price and delivery time from the configurator and to immediately place an order.
“The EAGLE PCB software is used by many developers, when it comes to PCB design”, says Harnisch, “so we are all the more pleased that we have found a partner in CadSoft that has the same philosophy as we do. Both the EAGLE software and the WEdirekt online calculator are user-friendly and offer an efficient circuit board design in top quality as well as a quick and simple order process.”
David Conochie, European Regional Manager EMEA at CadSoft adds: “The intention of CadSoft is to offer its users easy access to PCB produc-tion. Through the integration of the PCB Quote button into the user inter-face of EAGLE, direct access is provided. This way, we save users the sometimes time consuming search for a suitable PCB manufacturer. With WEdirekt as a partner, we are sure to be offering our customers the add-ed value they desire.”
Both cooperation partners especially focus on quality, as well as the bene-fits and requirements of their customers. Accordingly, usability and user-friendliness is constantly checked and developed.

SMTA’s Conducts First UHDI Symposium
03/29/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineSMTA’s first UHDI Symposium in Peoria, Arizona, on Tuesday, March 26 featured a standout full-day technical program with 11 separate presentations on what will be required for our companies to move to ultra HDI manufacturing. The event was the brainchild of Tara Dunn, SMTA director of training and education. It included a compelling and collaborative presentation by David Haboud of Altium, John Johnson of American Standards Circuits, and Chrys Shea of Shea Engineering, who had spent the past several weeks creating and building an appropriate SMT test board vehicle for UHDI, something that was passed around for all conference goers to see and touch.
PCBflow Helps Designers Choose Best Manufacturer for the Job
03/28/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineI recently spoke with a few technologists who have first-hand experience with PCBflow: Susan Kayesar, technical product manager with Siemens; Evgeny Makhline, CTO of Nistec, a CEM based in Israel; and Peter Tranitz, senior director of technology solutions and leader of the IPC Design Initiative. They explain how PCBflow functions, from the designer’s and manufacturer’s viewpoint, and how this database helps break down the wall between these stakeholders.
Elementary, Mr. Watson: Ensuring Design Integrity
03/28/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonBack in February, many of us watched the "Big Game." It reminded me of the saying, “It's not how you start that is important, but rather how you finish." It is perfectly okay when you are talking about sports, you get off to a bad first half and need to recover in the second half. However, when it comes to PCB design, this is not a good practice. If things start badly, they usually don't recover. They continue down that same path, costing more money and losing design time.
