The process of designing and manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCBs) can be quite lengthy. From prototyping to modifying the designs, the early stages can take the longest. Manufacturers often work with several companies as they coordinate acquisition, fabrication, and assembly. If anything goes wrong, the process can slow to a crawl. Here, Adrian Brito of Svtronics, a turnkey electronics manufacturing services provider, explains why tur...
