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.

Why PCB Fabricators Need to Be at the SMTA Additive Electronics Conference
October 16, 2019 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
When I-Connect007 asked Tara Dunn, Omni PCB president and conference co-chair, about the types of applications discussing or adopting additive PCB technology, she replied, "Applications that need extremely thin copper, are concerned with space and weight, and have complex pin-outs, pushing the capabilities of traditional PCB manufacturing, could utilize SAP or mSAP technology. If you’re not using this kind of technology now, the chances are good that you will be soon."
Tara will also be attending and moderating a panel discussion at the conference.
Don’t miss out; start your research. Attend the SMTA Additive Electronics Conference on October 24, 2019, to launch your expertise in additive electronics.
