Eliminate Board Respins & Accelerate Product Development with ECAD-MCAD Collaboration
Join Saratech and Siemens EDA for an exclusive Customer Enablement Session featuring special guest speaker Alex Grange, Technical Marketing Engineer at Siemens EDA, and Gregory Beers, EDA Manager at Saratech.
Learn how integrated ECAD-MCAD workflows between Xpedition and NX help engineering teams eliminate costly board respins, reduce design iteration cycles, and improve first-pass success by keeping electrical and mechanical designs synchronized throughout product development.
Why Attend?
Disconnected ECAD and MCAD processes often lead to:
- Costly board respins caused by late-stage mechanical changes
- Component-to-enclosure interference discovered during prototyping
- Connector and mounting hole misalignment
- Manual, error-prone design handoffs between teams
- Delayed validation and extended development schedules
In this session, you’ll see how integrated ECAD-MCAD collaboration enables engineering teams to identify issues earlier, automate design updates, and accelerate product development.
What You’ll Learn
Live Workflow Demonstrations:
- Bidirectional Design Synchronization – See how mechanical enclosure changes automatically update PCB layouts in Xpedition, eliminating manual redraws and reducing design iteration cycles.
- 3D Collision Detection and Clearance Validation – Identify component-to-enclosure interference, heat sink conflicts, shielding issues, and clearance violations before manufacturing.
- Connector and Mounting Hole Alignment Verification – Validate critical connector locations, mounting features, and mechanical fit within the full product assembly before prototypes are built.
Integrated Collaboration Capabilities:
- Library Synchronization – Maintain alignment between electronic footprints and 3D mechanical models to ensure design consistency across disciplines.
- Automated Design Exchange – Seamlessly exchange board geometry, component placement, mounting features, and keepout zones between Xpedition and NX.
- Connected Digital Thread – Maintain design intent, traceability, and synchronized design data across ECAD and MCAD domains.
Who Should Attend?
- PCB Designers and ECAD Engineers
- Mechanical Engineers and MCAD Designers
- Lead Engineers and Engineering Managers
- Hardware Product Managers and Program Managers
- Manufacturing Engineers and NPI Engineers
