Ventec’s Martin Cotton to Speak at Advancements in Thermal Management Conference 2017
August 2, 2017 | VentecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group, a world leader in the production of polyimide and high-reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, will present a paper on Advanced IMS Material Solutions at the Advancements in Thermal Management Conference from 9-10 August 2017 in Denver, Colorado, USA.
Martin Cotton, Ventec’s Director of OEM Technology will be presenting his technical paper entitled ‘Advanced Thermal Material Solutions’ on Wednesday, 9 August at 11am at the DoubleTree by Hilton Denver Tech Center.
Thermal issues in printed circuit boards and their related assemblies are becoming as important as the signal integrity in the design and manufacture of PCBs. The relationship between the materials used and the thermal functionality is a key focus as industry sectors tackle issues of reliability, aging and functionality. Costs and the value analysis between thermal transfer rates and materials used are fast becoming a design discipline that has huge effects on final assembly cost and thermal functionality.
Martin’s presentation introduces new generation materials, their background and what current solutions are being used by various market sectors. Discussion on the next generation of insulated metal substrates (IMS) and prepregs for printed circuit boards and hybrid constructions will be covered. Design and the value analysis required to lower cost in the final assembly while maintaining thermal function will be reviewed. Finally, the myths and misunderstandings around thermal materials and how to use them will be explained.
Martin will be joined by Jack Pattie, President of Ventec USA.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
