Introduction
This is an inaugural post for the new forged.dev blog. In this blog, we’re going to discuss all
kinds of topics related to building and manufacturing electronic hardware. We want this blog to
become a how-to guide for anyone looking to build electronics at any scale as we add more posts, and
we’d love for it to be a useful knowledge base for engineers and others to reference in the future.
What to expect
We’ll be periodically releasing posts covering the whole range of electronics manufacturing,
starting from the basics and going all the way to advanced, deep-dive topics. The intent is that
this blog post can be used as a reference for engineers looking for guidance and best practices
to follow when building electronic hardware.
The first post in the series will be an overview of the basics of electronics manufacturing and a
larger overview of the entire process of building hardware.
If you’d like to suggest a topic for us to cover, feel free to send an email!
About the Authors
Both Ryan Summers and Noah Hüsser started forged.dev after building their own hardware. They want to
lower the barrier to entry and make the entire process easier for companies.
Ryan specializes in hardware and firmware engineering for safety-critical systems. Ryan previously
worked as an embedded engineer at SpaceX and has worked as a consultant for a multitude of embedded
projects.
Noah is the author of probe.rs and helped found
Zigfred. Noah used the knowledge he gained founding Zigfred to help build
forged.dev.
Both Noah and Ryan are active members of the Rust Embedded community, and you can easily get in
contact with either of them in the Rust Embedded Matrix
Channel.
