Making a PCB is not as simple as letting the program do it automatically, we have to take so many factors into account from multiple points of view at the same time. if you see a designer be good to him, he already has a lot of stress on him. Altium® Robert Feranec

In this video, Zachariah Peterson will teach you quick tips for reducing Bill of Materials (BOM) costs and optimizing your PCB design.

GD&T Fun for the week. Because GD&T sets the standard for fun! 🤩 Lets talk about the unequally-disposed tolerance zone this week. The circle U symbol was introduced in the 09 standard as a way to call an unequal tolerance zone in the feature control frame rather than graphically showing it. So the total width of the tolerance zone is given, but circle U allows the drawing/model true profile to have a tolerance that is not equal bilateral. This 'weights' the tolerance zone to one side or the other of the true profile. What has been your experience with unequally-disposed tolerance zone? Is this something you use or see on the parts you work on? When designing parts why would you not model/design to the midpoint and create an equal bilateral tolerance zone?

Example given above is per ASME because U modifier is use, but some explanation to your GD&T fun is per ISO which uses UZ modifier for unequallybilateral profil tolerans zone. This tolerance is best suited for irregular surfaces fits along with providing manufacturing flexibility

DFM Expertise from Rob: The earlier in the design process you can bring in our DFM expertise, the better. Identifying DFM issues early can help avoid bigger costs later in the process. The cost of change goes up as the design gets more refined. Even a simple but common pitfall, like designing a pocket with straight internal corners when a radius would be more efficient to machine, is best caught early.
