About us
ETO DYNAMIC Digital GmbH, based in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, is the specialist for electronics services (EMS) within the international ETO GRUPPE. The company manufactures electronic assemblies, devices and systems – from PCB assembly (SMT and THT) and prototype production from a lot size of 1 and pre-series production to series production and complete device assembly. The service portfolio also includes development support (DfT, DfMA, DfP, PCB design support), material procurement with obsolescence management, cable assembly, PCB coating, potting as well as modifications and repairs. A focus lies on test services with TAKAYA flying probe systems, functional tests, temperature tests, material analyses and boundary scan; the in-house developed software Merlin pro generates test programs automatically from CAD data. Since 2020, a 3D printing division (filament printing up to 500 × 700 × 800 mm) has complemented the portfolio with enclosures, holders, tools and small series. Customers come from industrial electronics, automotive and medical technology, environmental and agricultural technology as well as aerospace.

Quality and testing
Quality assurance includes flying probe tests, MDA, ICT, functional tests, boundary scan, temperature tests, material analyses, optical inspections as well as run-in and burn-in tests. With the TAKAYA flying probe systems and the software Merlin pro, high test coverage is achieved even for complex structures starting from the first assembly.
