Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.
Technology Roadmaps
In this issue of PCB007 Magazine, we discuss technology roadmaps and what they mean for our businesses, providing context to the all-important question: What is my company’s technology roadmap?

LPKF Laser & Electronics to Exhibit at Space Tech Expo 2018
March 28, 2018 | LPKF Laser and ElectronicsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
LPKF Laser & Electronics, a GSA contractor and the biggest supplier of PCB prototyping equipment to the US government, has announced it will be demonstrating its inhouse rapid PCB prototyping equipment at the Space Tech 2018 Exhibition, which takes place May 22-24 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California.
The ProtoMat S63 is a desktop prototyping system designed to help microwave engineers make PCB prototypes in minutes or hours, instead of waiting for a design to come back from the board house weeks later. The system’s high-speed spindle can produce structures as small as 100 µm. Other features of the ProtoMat S63 include automatic tool change (15 tools), automatic milling width adjustment, optical fiducial recognition (camera), and an optional vacuum table.
About LPKF

Is It the Death of the Dashboard?
11/27/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineIn 2024, companies are leveraging AI agents to automate data-driven decisions, bypassing the need for specialized data science skills. In this interview with Tim Burke and Jennifer Davis of Arch Systems, they say these AI tools can handle straightforward tasks, significantly improving factory efficiency by addressing numerous small issues. This shift allows existing staff to use data effectively without extensive retraining. Both large and small language models are used to support real-time decisions on the production floor, integrating various data sources to create a comprehensive digital twin of the factory’s operations.
