For anyone interested there is a new IPC committee: 1-14, the DFX Standards Sub-committee. The new document will be IPC-2231, Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Guideline for the Printed Board Design Cycle. Co-chairs of the committee are Cheryl Tulkoff of DfR Solutions and Karen McConnell of Northrup Grumman. If anyone is interested in participating in this work please contact me and I will make sure you get on our mailings. We will be meeting via bi-weekly conference call until our next face to face (which I expect will be at IPC Midwest).
