Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

LPKF Launches PCBPrototypingMachines.com Microsite
July 13, 2018 | LPKFEstimated reading time: 1 minute
LPKF announces the official launch of its new microsite www.PCBPrototypingMachines.com.
There’s a lot to know about PCB prototyping machines. How much do they cost? Which machine is right for you? What substrate materials do they process? How can you use them?
LPKF has pulled together all of the answers and insights you need, while providing you a fast path to getting cost information via its step-by-step PCB system selector tool. This microsite is an all-in-one, convenient guide to PCB prototyping machines which offers several informative briefs, company spotlights on milling and laser machine usage, blogs, FAQs about PCB prototyping machine attributes, and PCB design approaches.
Included among the content is information on how to write a capital equipment business case for a rapid PCB prototyping machine. The site offers a template and sample data to get you on your way fast to making a solid case for this kind of capital investment. LPKF’s popular tech briefs: “Nobody Gets Fired for Bringing Rapid PCB Prototyping In-house” and “PCB Substrates: Matching Your Design to the Right Material and Prototyping Process” also offer valuable insight and answers to the common questions facing both engineers and managers alike.

Driving Innovation: Size Matters—Navigating the Challenges of XXL PCB Production
03/02/2026 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn high-end electronics, complexity is often measured in microns. However, when those microns are spread across a massive surface area, the engineering challenge fundamentally changes. Imagine two panels: Both are highly complex, featuring 4-stage build-ups, 2-mil line and space patterns, 2-mil microvias, and through-holes with a demanding 1:30 aspect ratio.
