Sunstone Circuits, a printed circuit board (PCB) solutions provider for prototypes, medium-volume and production quantities, recently exhibited at PCB West and was a Gold Sponsor Presenter at NEDME.
NEDME, The NW Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo, is held in Sunstone’s own backyard every October in Beaverton, Oregon. Started over 15 years ago and originally called Octoberbest, NEDME has welcomed Sunstone as one of many exhibitors from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Produced and managed by The Oregon Electronics Manufacturers Association (EMA), this event connects local businesses with engineers, buyers, and reps in a fun and educational way. Sunstone’s own Mathew Stevenson contributed as a conference session speaker, focusing on PCB design pitfalls.
Meeting and talking with customers face to face is enlightening—a chance to clarify expectations and update customers with new and existing practices and capabilities.
“Through a conversation with a recent customer, we came to realize that not everyone knows that Sunstone can build PCBs up to 14 layers, produce higher production quantities and that we also hold certifications with ITAR, ISO, RoHS and more. Face to face is a perfect way to update these customers,” said Sean Hulin, marketing and sales manager.

Rethinking Stackup, Materials, and Tolerances in Modern Designs
05/14/2026 | Kristin Moyer, Global Electronics AssociationThe simple rectangular rigid PCB is becoming increasingly infrequent. This reality necessitates designing with concepts well outside traditional rigid PCB methodologies. For example, the designer of wearable electronics may need to implement conductive fibers integrated into the textile material. Heads-up displays, like those in VR/AR headsets and glasses, require transparent circuitry etched into the display glass. The process of designing without a rule book usually starts with something other than the traditional board design process.

Road to Reliability: Engineering High Uptime EV Charging Infrastructure
05/13/2026 | Stanton Rak, SF Rak CompanyThe transition to EVs is no longer constrained solely by vehicle capability. Instead, it is increasingly defined by a simpler, but more unforgiving question: Will the charger work when I arrive? This high uptime does not happen by accident. As EV technology has matured, limitations in battery range, power electronics, and thermal management are no longer the primary barriers to adoption.
