We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CAD",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Website takes on a clearer structure from
Schurter, which we summarised at the time by saying "The homepage gives direct access to the 27 different country domains of the Schurter Group, and all information is available in seven languages".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Library enhances simulation and modelling from
Spectrum Group: "Ismosys will represent Accelerated Designs in European territories and handle the distribution of its products, particularly its Ultra Librarian EDA library tool, online globally".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Tecan
concerning its Tecan PCM and photo etching service
- take a look at Small-run metal parts produced fast
which says: "Refined to the highest levels to rapidly deliver burr and stress free custom solutions, Tecan offers a 48hr turnaround service for photo-chemical machined (PCM) or 'photo-etched' metal parts".
Take a look also at the news release from Laird Technologies, Online tool aids shielding gasket specification,
as well as Pick and place system boosts capacity from Essemtec,
and Parasitic extraction works on 45nm process from Synopsys.
