The Factory | Discussing Prototypes and Design for Manufacture

This week we're putting the finishing touches on some prototypes before getting them fabricated. We talk track junctions, experiment with a solder-reservoir footprint technique for parts with locking tabs, discuss component packaging and DFM (design for manufacturability), and take a look at some custom component trays to overcome manufacturing constraints.

If you have any thoughts about topics raised in the video we'd love to hear them! Are 90 degree traces really a big deal? Have you made trays for odd parts before?
