Think your manufacturer keeps screwing up your circuit boards? The problem might be the design itself, setting them up to fail before they even start assembly.
On December 4th, Chris Denney is running a free webinar that walks through the most common PCB design mistakes that frustrate manufacturers and how to prevent them.
Your Manufacturer is Stupid – What's Really Going Wrong in PCB Design
This is a 45-minute session focused on practical DFM issues that create real problems on the manufacturing floor. No vendor pitches, no abstract theory, just specific design decisions that make assembly harder than it needs to be.

Who should attend:
This webinar is built for mechanical engineers who want to understand how board layout and design choices impact manufacturability, cost, and communication with electrical teams. You'll learn the fundamentals that let you collaborate more effectively with PCB manufacturers and avoid expensive surprises when boards move to production.
Electrical engineers will pick up real-world DFM insights they can apply immediately to improve yield and reduce rework.
You'll learn how to:
Identify design choices that complicate PCB assembly unnecessarily
Communicate more effectively with PCB vendors and electrical teammates
Design in ways that reduce rework, waste, and frustration across the boar
Looking Ahead to 2026
This webinar launches our 2026 technical content schedule. We're planning webinars every other month starting in January covering topics that address the actual engineering challenges you face.
We're also starting topic specific AMAs where you can bring specific problems: tricky tolerance questions, manufacturing process decisions, or design trade-offs you're working through. These will be smaller, focused sessions that dig into the details that matter for your current projects.
Full 2026 schedule details coming in mid-December. Expect consistent technical content that skips the conference fluff and addresses real engineering work.
See you December 4th!
