About Imagineering
Imagineering, Inc. was founded as a family business in 1985. Relying heavily on family expertise, the company has succeeded by recognizing industry needs and reacting to serve these needs.
Imagineering’s relentless focus on the customer has led to the decision to upgrade from the ISO 9001 quality management system to AS9100. Customer pressure (or demand) is typically the driving factor for most companies to pursue the stringent, daunting AS9100 certification, but this is not the case with Imagineering. Once again, Imagineering is differentiating themselves, as this decision was solely based on the desire to improve the company, and their service to their customers. Visit us at www.pcbnet.com.

Trouble in Your Tank: Can You Drill the Perfect Hole?
07/07/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the movie “Friday Night Lights,” the head football coach (played by Billy Bob Thornton) addresses his high school football team on a hot day in August in West Texas. He asks his players one question: “Can you be perfect?” That is an interesting question, in football and the printed circuit board fabrication world, where being perfect is somewhat elusive. When it comes to mechanical drilling and via formation, can you drill the perfect hole time after time?

The Death of the Microsection
06/26/2025 | Bob Neves, Reliability Assessment Solutions, Inc.I got my start out of college grinding and polishing PCB microsections. My thumbs are a bit arthritic today because of the experience (microsection grinders know what I mean). Back then, via structures were rather large, and getting to the center in six steps of grinding and polishing was easy compared to what my team has been doing recently at the lab.
