Building mechanical constraints into design decisions ensures smooth transition from prototype to production without ...

Something that becomes abundantly clear as you progress through the senior design project is that an idea “on paper” often does not fully translate physically in the prototyping phase. Because at this ...

Much has been written about the rise of field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) -based platforms over application-specific-integrated-circuit (ASIC) implementations. During the last few years, FPGAs have ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Tom De Schutter, Director of Product Marketing, Physical Prototyping, Synopsys Inc. FPGA-based prototyping allows for ...

In previous articles I have talked about prototyping in general “Prototypes: What is a prototype?” and some of the consideration when deciding if a prototype would be beneficial, and then deciding on ...

3D printing can be an effective, low-cost way to build prototypes, especially when you consider all the competitive advantages companies can get from it—assuming they know what they’re doing. Here are ...

Robust testing and evaluation processes are important for learning from both the successes and the failures in prototype development. Dr. John Granier, chief engineer of munitions and energetics at ...
