An effective design for manufacturability (DFM) process is essential to the on-time delivery of reliable printed circuit boards. When engineers align PCB layout and design rules with real-world production capabilities, teams avoid delays, reduce costs, and improve build consistency. These seven engineering practices help ensure your PCB design moves efficiently
Making printed circuit boards (PCBs) for military and aerospace use cases is different from creating boards for everyday gadgets. In these high-stakes fields, the boards are responsible for critical systems like avionics, radar, and satellite communications. Precision is therefore key, and each board must be tough enough to withstand demanding
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, a process in which machines follow coded instructions about how to cut and shape raw materials into finished products. Instead of an operator making manual adjustments, the machine follows a precise program to remove material with cutting tools, producing consistent results across every run.
Companies are reevaluating where their printed circuit boards are manufactured and shifting their focus to domestic PCB manufacturing. For teams developing aerospace technology, energy systems, or medical devices, relying on overseas suppliers can lead to delays, gaps in communication, and security concerns. Meanwhile, U.S.-based manufacturers are stepping up with faster
Whether you’re designing electronics for aerospace, medical, or industrial use, protecting your circuit boards from moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations is essential. One key method of safety is through conformal coating—a thin, non-conductive layer that shields sensitive components from environmental and mechanical stress. Applied to circuit boards to extend
For a circuit board to pass inspection, it must undergo rigorous testing to ensure every electrical connection functions as intended. One of the most versatile tools available for testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) is the PCB flying probe test (FPT). What Is a Flying Probe Test? A flying probe test
