Current IssueOpportunities and Challenges
In this issue, our expert contributors discuss the many opportunities and challenges in the PCB design community, and what can be done to grow the numbers of PCB designers—and design instructors.
Embedded Design Techniques
Our expert contributors provide the knowledge this month that designers need to be aware of to make intelligent, educated decisions about embedded design. Many design and manufacturing hurdles can trip up designers who are new to this technology.
Manufacturing Know-how
For this issue, we asked our expert contributors to share their thoughts on the absolute “must-know” aspects of fab, assembly and test that all designers should understand. In the end, we’re all in this together.

T-Tech Releases IsoPro 3.2
September 16, 2015 | T-TechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
T-Tech, the manufacturer of the Quick Circuit line of rapid prototyping systems, has released IsoPro 3.2 software. This is the first major software release this year.
From user feedback our customers asked for an Isolation program which could produce Isolation data in G-Code format. IsoPro 3.2 provides these services allowing a company the opportunity to manufacture printed circuit boards on the Quick Circuit, in house, within an hour from the time the schematic and layout are completed.
The Contact-by-Touch software feature for the Quick Circuit QCJ5 is new and improved. You can now calibrate the depth of cut with the tool touching off the surface of the material in an average of five seconds from the time the tool has changed. This kind of precision calibration has never been achievable on a rapid prototyping machine before.
The real-time milling progress within IsoPro 3.2 is greatly enhanced. This allows the operator to automatically align multilayer PCBs in their lab. From over 10,000 customer installations in over 78 countries, scientists, electrical engineers and technicians now have an improved capability to produce prototype circuit boards in an environmentally friendly fashion.
For more information about IsoPro 3.2, contact sales@t-tech.com or call 800-370-1530.
You can also learn more about IsoPro 3.2 at PCB West in the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California. T-Tech is located in booth #500.

American Made Advocacy: Going Beyond the CHIPS Act to Power American Manufacturing
03/26/2024 | Travis Kelly -- Column: American Made AdvocacyWhere have all the factories gone? A tour of America’s former bustling manufacturing communities is a stark reminder that, for the past three decades, we let the microelectronics manufacturing ecosystem disappear overseas, primarily to Asia. For decades, foreign competitors seeking to control critical markets played a long game. Government investment and subsidies were effective in undercutting U.S. and European companies. As other countries created this unfair competitive advantage in manufacturing, the know-how also migrated in their direction. This resulted in the serious workforce challenges the semiconductor and printed circuit board industries face today.

Happy’s Tech Talk #26: Balancing the Density Equation
03/14/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkPrinted circuit design and layout is a creative process that has profound implications for electronic products. With the need for more parts on an assembly, or the trend to make things smaller to be portable or for faster speeds, the design process is a challenging one. The process is one of “balancing the density equation” (Figure 1) with considerations for certain boundary conditions like electrical and thermal performance. Unfortunately, many designers do not realize that there is a mathematical process to the layout of a printed circuit
