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.

Eltos Invests in Its PCB Production
September 28, 2020 | EltosEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In recent weeks, Eltos, which is based in Arezzo, has continued to modernize and expand its machinery. The Turin-based machine manufacturer Pluritec supplied three machines for Eltos modern PCB production. Specifically, a second X-ray drill Inspecta Combo HP is suitable for exterior and internal layers that allows micro drilling and precise milling with or without local X-ray target detection and coordinate measurement. Also from Pluritec an X-Vision for X-ray inspection of multilayers and a milling machine Duo suitable for deep milling with high-precision Z-axis control and optical alignment.
A high-performance cut sheet laminator SMARTLAM 5200 from Dynachem for inner layer production rounds off the current investments and expands the technical possibilities of Elto's very thin 25 micron inner layers without any problems.
"These investments in this challenging year strengthen Eltos technical ability to continue to reliably supply our customers with high-end printed circuit boards in the future," said Riccardo Pinamonti CEO of Eltos S.p.A. "and in October we will continue to invest with a new Direct Imaging Printer for the solder mask."
With around 100 employees in the High-Mix Low-Volumes segment and QTA Express Services, ELTOS S.p.A. produces professional printed circuit boards used in various areas, including medical technology printed circuit boards for ventilators, telecommunications, automation, safety, automotive, airspace, military and relevant European research institutions, especially CERN in Geneva and the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Italy. ELTOS was founded in 1980 in Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy.

Connect the Dots: Designing for the Future of Manufacturing Reality—Surface Finish
05/07/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWhen designing the complex boards that many electronic devices require to operate, designers should consider manufacturability at every step. This is my last article focused on designing for the always-evolving manufacturing reality. Choosing the right surface finish has always been important. If you are creating intricate designs with a wide variety of components, like for an ultra-high density interconnect (UHDI) board, surface finish is a critical last step.
