Many common electronic products still use square or rectangular boards to support important components and circuits. Despite the continued use of these standard boards, more products in the mobile, computer, automotive, and other industries require boards with non-standard shapes. The odd packaging and restrained space in these products limit the use of rectangular boards.

Designs for newer electronic devices carry more stringent requirements on form factor, which places further constraints on component footprints. In new IoT devices, 5G-capable mobile devices, and wearables, one can expect the required level of functionality to continue increasing as time goes on, which makes a cramped situation inside the packaging for these devices even...

Any innovative company is familiar with the need to cultivate and maintain a vibrant R&D division to remain at the forefront of new technology and gain a first-mover advantage when developing new products. This means businesses must get the most innovation bang for their buck: Costs need to be kept in check while still providing...

PCB manufacturing is due for an upgrade. The processes used to manufacture multilayer PCBs have remained largely unchanged ever since they were industrialized. The standard multilayer PCB manufacturing process is still as inefficient, wasteful, and prone to errors as it was when it was first adopted by industry.

What started as a single process involving photopolymers and a UV lamp has expanded into a range of manufacturing processes that use ever-more complex materials. Despite the popular idea that 3D printing is something a college student does in their dorm room, this technology is revolutionizing new product development and manufacturing. Industry has gone far...

By Amit Dror, CEO and Co-Founder of Nano Dimension    Nano Dimension 3D Printing There’s a growing design trend that’s beginning to have an impact on the product development process and how engineers go about innovating smart homes and designing connected products. The key technologies driving this trend are the connection of devices to the...

With Industry 4.0 in full swing, additive manufacturing is becoming more popular and disruptive in a number of industries, and aerospace is no exception. Compared to other industries, aerospace is one area that focuses on low-volume production of systems that incorporate complex mechanical and electronic components.

If you say the phrase “3D printing” to most people, it conjures images of depositing spools of plastic using a machine that looks nothing like a desktop printer. The technology is about 30 years old, but the systems and range of useful materials have gradually expanded over time.
