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.

Eagle Electronics Increases Direct Imaging Capacity; Reduces Cycle Time
June 22, 2020 | Eagle ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Mike Kalaria, President and CEO of Eagle Electronics of Schaumburg, Illinois announced today that his company has made an additional new investment in direct imaging.
Eagle Electronics has a strong partnership with their supplier Schmoll Maschinen who builds advanced direct imaging equipment. Eagle has recently purchased their third direct imaging machine from Schmoll which is their MDI-ST XL. This machine will increase their direct imaging capacity by 30-40%. It will also play a major role in reducing cycle time for solder mask exposing.
Commenting on this latest investment Mr. Kalaria stated, “Eagle is well positioned for sustained growth as such we must always look at incremental expansion to support our new and existing customer’s needs. We also like the risk mitigation provided by having more redundancy in our imaging department. In this equipment we also get another major benefit which is the latest performance improvements. We essentially can cut our solder mask exposing time in half greatly improving cycle time. All told we have made an investment which will provide multiple benefits to our customers”
