Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

MSC Polymer Precision Milling Machine Reduces Microsectioning Process Steps
September 7, 2017 | MSC Polymer AGEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

MSC Polymer AG has launched a new precision milling machine, helping users to reduce microsectioning down to only two process steps. With the patented machinery, even drilled holes of less than 100μm can be safely and automatically examined.
Previously, microsectioning of such small drilled holes required largely manual work of experienced laboratory staff. With the new system, staff with no experience can be trained to operate it within 15 minutes.
