10 Common Issues in PCB Fabrication
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) fabrication is a complex process that requires substantial time and money investment. Very often it's done in a hurry without due diligence to Design for Manufacturability (DFM). The results can be devastating, and in this video I review 10 common issues with DFM and PCB design process in general, that can make all the difference between a good working design and a recycle bin.
