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.

Global PCB Connections: A Field Engineer’s Perspective on the Top 10 Trends to Watch
03/27/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsAs a field application engineer for a major Chinese PCB company, I see firsthand the challenges and, more excitingly, the trends shaping our industry. Talking to engineers, designers, and procurement teams worldwide, one thing is clear: PCBs have come a long way, but we’re barely scratching the surface of what’s possible. Here are 10 trends I believe will define our industry over the next decade.
Flexible Thinking: The Key to a Successful Flex Circuit Design Transfer
03/26/2025 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingThis month, I will discuss the most common design errors that fabricators see, typical areas of miscommunication between design and fabrication, and what designers can do to avoid putting their jobs on hold. This is no simple task, given the many things that can go wrong in flex circuit manufacturing, but many of these issues originate in the design process.

Just Because You Can, Doesn’t Mean You Should
03/20/2025 | Tony Plemel, Flexible Circuit TechnologiesDecisions are usually made by gathering information and differing opinions, then making the best choice based upon that information. The same process is used when designing flexible circuits and rigid-flex circuits. For example, when designing a flex circuit or rigid-flex circuit, we consider some basic factors.
