5 Common Issues Lurking in Your PCBs and How OrCAD X Can Solve Them

Duration: 47:27

Modern PCB design is increasingly complex, with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing considerations tightly intertwined. In this webinar, experts from EMA Design Automation and Hawk Ridge Systems explore common issues that often surface late in the PCB design process and how a more integrated, intelligent workflow can help engineers identify and resolve them earlier.

The session walks through real-world challenges such as:

  • Component selection risk
  • Hard-to-detect electrical issues
  • Electromechanical misalignment
  • Manufacturing constraints
  • Errors during release to manufacturing

Using practical examples, the presenters demonstrate how OrCAD X enables a “shift-left” design approach. Watch the full webinar to learn how connecting PCB design, mechanical design, manufacturing awareness, and AI-driven automation can reduce rework, improve collaboration, and accelerate time to market.
