Ventec’s Martin Cotton to Present Paper on PCB Design Process at SMART Group European Conference
September 7, 2015 | Ventec EuropeEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec Europe, a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, today announced that Martin Cotton, Director OEM Technology, will present a paper entitled 'Making the right decisions at the right time in the PCB design process' at the 2015 SMART Group European Conference & Exhibition. The conference will be held on the 22-23rd September at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), one of the UK’s leading science and research facilities, located in Teddington, London.
In PCB design, a key decision influencing the process and the eventual outcomes (quality, yield, cost) is the selection of material, particularly when the PCB in question requires significant performance parameters to be met. Martin's presentation will highlight the processes that lead to successful design and will explore how errors can be avoided that lead to risk, potential problems and compromises.
Martin commented: 'Over two days, The SMART Group Conference & Exhibition offers delegates and key suppliers of materials, equipment and testing services the opportunity to meet, network and discuss the latest industry developments and trends. Ventec and the SMART Group have a strong history together and we are excited about our participation at this year's European Conference.'

Connect the Dots: The Future of Designing for Reality—Outer Layer Imaging
12/24/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIf you read my column regularly, you know I’m passionate about helping designers get the most from their designs. In my November column, I focused on designer best practices for the electroless copper component of the manufacturing process. The next step is outer layer imaging: the transition from digital to physical, and where the designer’s IP meets the board.
The Next Five Years of Thermal Substrates, Ceramics, and Thick-film PCBs
12/11/2025 | Brian Buyea, RemtecIf you want a clean view of where thermal substrates and ceramic/thick-film electronics are headed, follow the heat. Power density is moving up and to the right across industries: EV traction inverters, fast chargers, AI data centers, radar, satellite payloads, medical imaging, and high-brightness LEDs. The next five years will be defined by designs that treat thermal performance as a first-order constraint, not an afterthought. Here’s what that means in practice.
