Learn how integrating piezoelectric thin film with multi-material metal-and-dielectric 3D printing, can produce flexible sensors that are suitable for testing opto-electro-mechanical performance and biochemical sensing.

The story of electronics is one of miniaturization and greater integration of disparate functionality into a single device. This has progressed at the integrated circuit level through continued scaling of transistor architecture to smaller sizes. This has also occurred at the PCB level through higher routing density, which is driven by the creative use of...

Whether you work in hardware manufacturing or software development, a company’s production cycle is an indicator of its ability to convert assets, inventory, and supply chains into cash flow and profits. In the hardware space, the actual act of fabricating and assembling a widget is just one aspect of the overall production cycle. There are...

It’s a PCB design question for the ages: Should I use a multi-board system with standard cables and connectors, or should I use a rigid-flex PCB? Just like many complex questions in electronics design, the answer is a firm “it depends.” Rigid-flex PCBs have found a home in aerospace, medical, and military applications, and they...
