Over the past few years, as the ‘maker‘ movement has taken hold, we have seen some spectacular projects emerge from people’s garages — all thanks to the wonder of tools such as 3D printers. Now, after ...
Printed-circuit boards (PC boards or PCBs) are literally the foundation of many of our electronic products. These copper-clad boards – often but not always using glass-epoxy FR-4 substrate, but ...
The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...
Quilter works by using physics-driven reinforcement learning to explore manufacturable board layouts. Instead of placing hundreds of components and routing thousands of traces manually, engineers ...
Yes, you can whip up a design for a printed circuit board, send it out to one of the many fab houses, and receive a finished, completed board in a week or two. There are quick-turn assembly houses ...
If the folks at ECM PCB Stator Technology have their say, applications for printed circuit board (PCB) stator motors will replace the bulky copper windings associated with electric motors. The ...
If it looks like a 3D printer and acts like a 3D printer, then it should be a 3D printer, if one were to follow the old adage about ducks. But that doesn't hold true for a new invention by a robotics ...
What methods can be applied to verify PCB functionality and safety? Which are suitable for mass production and for prototypes? What parameters are checked in each test? How to check a PCB without ...
