Current IssueLearning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.
Training New Designers
Where will we find the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers? Once we locate them, how will we train and educate them? What will PCB designers of the future need to master to deal with tomorrow’s technology?
The Designer of the Future
Our expert contributors peer into their crystal balls and offer their thoughts on the designers and design engineers of tomorrow, and what their jobs will look like.

Akrometrix Launches New Tabletop Shadow Moiré at SMTA International
August 15, 2017 | Akrometrix LLCEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Akrometrix, LLC will display its newest warpage metrology system in Booth #124 at SMTA International, scheduled to take place Sept. 19-20, 2017 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The new Tabletop Shadow Moiré (TTSM) system responds to the industry’s demand for an ultra-fast tabletop warpage metrology system.
The TTSM offers all of the software features of Akrometrix’s thermal warpage metrology systems, only at room temperature. Akrometrix is the industry leader in not only providing thermal warpage, but has optional modules for both DIC strain/CTE measurements and DFP for discontinuous surfaces. Utilizing a novel combination of both top and bottom heaters with shadow moiré, Akrometrix is providing temperature uniformity previously unattainable in the industry on a flexible/configurable platform.
The TTSM enables customers to measure warpage of substrates up to 300mm x 310 mm (a 300mm wafer or two JEDEC trays) with the entire measurement taking less than two seconds. Whether individual parts or a JEDEC tray of multiple parts, the TTSM provides an ultra-fast and highly accurate measurement at room temperature that is suited for tabletop use.
