3D package adds extra dimension to PCB design
Zuken has released Cadstar 3D, a novel desktop solution for combined 3D validation of electrical and mechanical designs.
Zuken participated in the evaluation along with other leading electronic design automation (EDA) companies.
By using their powerful design tool suite, CR-5000, Zuken was able to show unique value to Lockheed Martin.
Based on the results of the evaluation, Zuken was selected as the preferred tool provider by the engineering process improvement (EPI) programme's electrical subcouncil, which represents all of Lockheed Martin's businesses.
Lockheed Martin identified three core needs that its preferred PCB design solution had to satisfy.
The core needs were targeted to leveraging the size of the company, achieving convergence across the North American electronic design sites, and enabling efficiency, cost savings and purchasing economies of scale.
The evaluation covered every aspect of PCB design from tool technical functionality, integration capabilities, and process level solutions to return on investment analysis.
After the consolidation of Lockheed Martin's requirements and the initial request for information, the E-CAD vendors were invited to participate in an extensive competitive benchmarking process.
During this process each of the vendors were required to work through an exhaustive set of test cases, based on an elaborate set of requirements.
This was followed by each party submitting a business proposal, which ultimately led to final approval and selection. Request free introductory details about products from Zuken ...
