Lessons Learned

• Mike

• Tylero Make sure to double check other peoples work

thoroughly if your work is dependent on theirs. It's not okay to assume the thought of every problem that could arise.

• Beno Double check offset calculations

Lessons Learned cont.

• Eric

• TJo SMT population takes a long time and first revisions

of boards often need to be reworked and modified for prototyping applications

• Killiano You can print two items at once with 3-D printers, 3-

D printing quality is very limited in the innovation center
