Any circuit board prototyping engineer knows the importance of a coating and finish. In general, the PCB usually has a copper coating and is crucial to the overall efficiency of the board as it protects its components from being exposed to oxygen and other elements. Certain areas on the prototype PCB may also be gold Read More…
Anyone can tell you that working in the technological field can be tricky. Like a puzzle piece that doesn’t fit, if one thing remains out of place then the whole picture will never look just right. It’s essential that the tools of the trade are made to quality standards, but in doing so that can Read More…
The world of prototype circuit boards can be pretty complex. If you are thinking about getting into the world of printed PCBs, then you should start small. One detail that is important for any engineer to know is the process of SMT stencil printing. Here we explain more. What is SMT? Simply put, SMT is Read More…
Simply put, circuit board prototyping is incredibly complex. There are different components needed for each different process, and arguably the PCB assembly is one of the most important. After all, there is no point to your board if it is not assembled properly! Are you a prototype printed circuit board enthusiast? If you are looking Read More…
While many 3D printing fans are eagerly awaiting the day when 3D printers can produce electronics like custom prototype printed circuit boards, the idea of 3D PCBs remains more of a gimmick than a fact. A promising new Kickstarter campaign for a 3D electronics printer raised more than 300,000 euros. That is until Kickstarter suspended Read More…
Circuit board prototyping can be found in many different applications and accessories.
