Hardware Development
// Application-specific electronics design for system integration.
Electronics Hardware Development
The electronics hardware development contains the design of application-specific electronics on functional sample level and the manufacturing of prototypes for target system integration. For this purpose, the ECAD is supported by MCAD integration options, which results in a spatial and functional design tailored to the target application.
