An Interview with Chris Denney

The Amp Hour · 15 Oct 2018 · 1h 34m · Episode 411

What this episode covers

Chris Denney, CTO of Worthington Assembly, discusses the evolution of US contract manufacturing, contrasting the manual, low-volume shops of the past with modern, highly automated facilities. He details the partnership with CircuitHub, which uses native EDA files and APIs to automate quoting and data normalization, drastically reducing the time engineers wait for prices. Denney also provides specific design-for-manufacturing advice, such as avoiding double-sided assembly for heavy components and verifying footprints to prevent assembly errors.

    Chris Denney | PCB Design, Fabrication, & Manufacturing

    Chris Denney, CTO at Worthington Assembly, discusses the complexities of small-volume PCB assembly, contrasting the 'one to 100 piece' prototype range with the new challenges of scaling to 10,000-piece monthly orders. He explains that while pick-and-place machines are incredibly fast, the real difficulty lies in parts management, moisture sensitivity, and avoiding common design mistakes like using non-manufacturable boards from services like OSH Park. Denney also highlights his partnership with CircuitHub, which uses software to generate instant quotes for low-volume work, allowing Worthington to focus on higher-volume production runs.

    Ep. 8 | From Prototype to Market: Design for Manufacturability with Untapped Engineering Resources

    Host Dave Finch interviews Dr. Don Kai Shenguan of Untapped Engineering Resources and Mark Hughes of Royal Circuits Solutions about the critical importance of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) in electronics. The guests explain how engaging with Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) partners early in the design cycle prevents costly errors, such as single-source component obsolescence or unnecessary complexity like buried vias. They emphasize that modern EMS companies act as design partners, offering value engineering to optimize yield and cost, rather than just executing prints. The discussion highlights the need for young engineers to gain practical board design experience using tools like Altium and Cadence to bridge the gap between academic theory and production reality.

    S7E2 WEBINAR: Your Manufacturer is Stupid: Why Your Circuit Board Design Is Making Their Job Harder with Chris Denney

    Chris Denney, CTO of Worthington Assembly and Circuit Hub, explains how PCB design choices directly impact manufacturing efficiency and cost. He details five critical areas for mechanical and electrical engineers: ensuring component polarity is clear on the silk layer, using standardized 'cozy' 1mm text, avoiding panelization conflicts with overhanging parts, maintaining component size consistency to simplify stencil stepping, and preferring green solder mask over black for better optical inspection. Denney emphasizes that manufacturers are not Apple and must work with standard processes, urging designers to provide clear visual cues and collaborate early to avoid expensive rework and delays during new product introduction.

    #037 - Disrupting with digital manufacturing, with Nick Pinkston of Plethora, USA

    Nick Pinkston, founder and CEO of Plethora, explains how his company automates CNC machining to provide real-time design feedback and instant pricing, aiming to make manufacturing as easy as pizza delivery. He details why hardware startups often fail by not engaging manufacturers early enough to understand cost trade-offs and production constraints. Pinkston also discusses the growth of the San Francisco Hardware Startup Meetup, which he co-founded, and shares lessons on scaling operations, hiring management early, and maintaining organizational culture between factory floor and office staff.

    Ted Pawela, Chief Ecosystem Officer at Altium, and Misha Govshteyn, CEO of MacroFab, discuss their strategic partnership and the launch of the Altimate solution. They explain how this integration connects Altium Designer directly to MacroFab’s cloud manufacturing network, allowing designers to see real-time cost, availability, and DFM data. The conversation highlights the shift from 'designing for manufacturing' to 'designing with manufacturing' to maintain agility and data coherence during the new product introduction process.
