vSure, For Sure

vSure, For Sure

A few weeks ago we annouced release 9 of the vSure design for manufactuability (DFM) product.  Press Release.    This product came to us via the Valor acquisition and is used in many competitive design environments as well as Mentor’s Expedition and Board Station.  We have an  on-demand webinar about it on the web site.

My original thought was that this type of pre-manufacturing NPI product really only applied to the consumer marketplace where getting the product to high yields, high volume production quickly could mean the difference between profit and loss.  Around the time of the press release, I was in Moscow presenting at a seminar and had a DFM session.  Much to my surprise, this subject was of great interest to the Russian audience where you would imagine that consumer type products were not the norm.  However, even for their lower volume products, getting it right the first time from a manufactuability point of view is very important.  It illustrated to me that industry trends and business needs continue to evolve  and industries we once thought of as affording long design times and not cost sensitive (military, networking, aerospace, industrial,..) are now concerned with cost, competition, and time-to-market.
