DESCRIPTION:IEEE Boston Reliability and SMTA Boston chapter will meet in pe
 rson on April 22\, with two presentations:\n\n&quot;Latest Updates to the Ultra
  HDI Test Board Design&quot; presented by Chrys Shea:\n\nThe UltraHDI Board jus
 t got an update. Last time Chrys presented the design\, it had some propos
 ed changes. Come and see which suggestions made the cut and which ones got
  recrafted. The presentation will walk attendees through the whats and why
 s of the new design and fabrication test features.\n\nAdditionally\, Chrys
  will be offering a sneak peek at the next revision of the standard SMTA M
 iniaturization Test Vehicle\, which will make its official debut this fall
  at SMTAI 2026!\n\nand\n\n&quot;SMT Equipment Performance Challenges in Ultra H
 DI Assembly&quot; presented by Mike Sivigny:\n\nAs Ultra HDI miniaturization pu
 shes SMT boundaries\, standard OEM &quot;factory-ready&quot; calibrations are no lon
 ger enough. Data reveals a staggering 90% initial specification failure ra
 te for routine validations and immediately following OEM installation.\nTh
 is presentation contrasts 3rd-party performance verification against inter
 nal machine measurements\, exposing the gap between &quot;installed&quot; and &quot;optim
 ized.&quot; Attendees will learn why relying solely on OEM calibration threaten
 s first-time-right quality and how rigorous\, independent validation is th
 e only way to protect profitability in high-precision assembly.\n\nCo-spon
