EL DORADO HILLS, CA – The Occam Group, developers of an innovative advanced electronics manufacturing methodology announced the addition of Dana Korf (Korf Consultancy) to its leadership team. Korf, a seasoned PCB professional, will play a pivotal role in driving innovation and expanding Occam’s capabilities for the electronics industry.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dana to the Occam team,” said Ray Rasmussen, Managing Partner. “His years in the PCB industry and deep expertise in PCB design and manufacturing will be invaluable as we continue to advance and improve the capabilities of the Occam Process.”
Korf has worked on a wide range of complex PCB projects. His knowledge and skills will be instrumental in optimizing the Occam Process for component assemblies. By eliminating the traditional soldering process, Occam offers numerous advantages, including improved reliability, reduced costs, and enhanced environmental sustainability. In addition, Occam’s inherent capabilities include: improved thermal management, EMI mitigation and reduced RF interference, simplifying designs and manufacturing. Occam’s additive approach lends itself to significantly greater efficiencies and is positioned to lead the industry for years to come.
Occam inventor, Joe Fjelstad stated: “the continuing industry journey to create PCBs to meet future product needs for advanced electronics has resulted in a significant increase in complexity and cost, severely limiting the number of prospective manufacturers to meet those needs. The investment required to fabricate advanced PCB based packaging solutions are approaching those required for making semiconductor ICs thus fiscally limiting growth and constraining the supply base. The Occam concept seeks to significantly simplify the manufacturing process, allowing more to be done with less, greatly reducing the need for these very complex designs currently driving the industry. One area where we know Dana will be able to make significant contributions is in defining and realizing the additive/3D printing opportunity for Occam. It is an area where he has competently demonstrated his industry recognized vision and leadership”
“I am excited to join Occam and contribute to the advancement of this innovative methodology,” said Korf. “Occam has the potential to transform the electronics industry, and I look forward to working with the Occam team to make this happen.”
