Santa Clara, Calif.-- Hunter Technology Corporation, an Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider serving leading-edge technology firms, has announced the opening of four new design service centers:

• Santa Clara, California
• Denver, Colorado
• Crossville, Tennessee
• Marlboro, New Jersey

Hunter now offers PCB design and engineering services nationally through its new subsidiary CADParts & Consulting LLC. Additional service centers in other strategic part of the United States will be added over the next twelve months, beginning in April with the San Diego, California design center.

This expansion allows Hunter to further build on their vertically integrated EMS model thus providing customers a complete design, fabrication and assembly solution. Design Services are available for CAD Platforms of all major tools including Altium, Cadence, Mentor and Zuken. Engineering services have been added including original design and cost reduction engineering services. Also added are On-Site services and Mechanical Design services.

Joseph O’Neil, President of Hunter Technology had this to say: "This is very exciting. Hunter has provided Customers with fabrication and assembly services for over 40 years. CADParts engineering services bring us into the design process at an earlier stage, thus ensuring increased reliability, decreased costs and accelerated time to market. With one transaction our customers can receive a complete assembled product; designed, fabricated and Assembled by Hunter."

"Another key ingredient in this offering", added Don Beane of CADParts & Consulting LLC "is that our services are tailored to each customer. If our customer wants designers embed in their location to work side by side with their team, we can do that. If our customer needs a design team, we can quickly assemble an on-site team of design professionals. We also have complete design capabilities in each of our design locations. This is all part of our strategy to provide our customers with exactly what they need when they need it."

CADParts & Consulting LLC Signs VAR Agreement with CadPlex Software LLC

Monday, October 28, 2007

CADParts & Consulting, a leader in providing PCB design services announced today it has entered into a VAR agreement with CadPlex Software LLC to sell and support the complete line of Schematic Symbol Modeler tools Including Symbol Modeler™ Basic, Symbol Modeler™ Standard and Symbol Modeler™ FPGA. Additionally, CADParts & Consulting has integrated several seats into their library development flow to support their customers.

CADParts & Consulting provides Library and Design services including full support of schematic symbol libraries in multiple EDA formats for DxDesigner, OrCAD Capture and Allegro DE HDL. Don Beane, President of CADParts & Consulting LLC, said "We need the ability to build complex heterogeneous or asymmetrical symbols quickly and accurately. The Symbol Modeler tools import data from PDF datasheets, EXCEL pin lists and FPGA data models providing our Library team with the power to develop large symbols in the fraction of the time of the native tools." Beane added, "I think we have found the perfect companion to the IPC-7351 LP Wizards we use to create land patterns".

Bryan Truax, Vice President of Operations & Library Services for CADParts & Consulting, LLC added, "We needed the ability to apply design reuse by automating, translating, and retargeting those symbol formats to our customers’ symbol format." Truax continued, "We have customers with multiple tools trying to consolidate to a single tool set as well as customers migrating from one tool to another. The Symbol Modeler tools allow us to help our customers by importing symbols in one format and exporting them to the target format."

Mike Bitzko, principal at CadPlex Software LLC said " we have spent significant time working with customer Engineers looking at the problems of creating symbols for FPGAs and keeping them updated as the I/O pins and signal names are swapped several times. This is an industry-wide problem and we have it solved. The Symbol Modeler can import data from the FPGA vendor software and automatically update the existing symbol. No more error-prone manual updates are needed now".
