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 Orbotech Diamond 10 Direct Image System for Solder Mask
October 5, 2020 | EltosEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Italian printed circuit boards manufacturer Eltos S.p.A. (celebrating 40 years of activity) has invested in new equipment for PCB direct image printing for solder mask.
Eltos S.p.A., one of the leading Italian printed circuit boards manufacturers operating since 1980 in Arezzo, Tuscany, decided to invest in the most advanced and fastest technology for PCB direct image solder mask printing available nowadays.
Dr. Riccardo Pinamonti, founder and CEO of Eltos S.p.A., and one of the most expert and experienced technologists in the PCB European market, is convinced that in these difficult times, “to be competitive is necessary to offer new solutions and opportunities to our customers installing the best solutions in the market from the most reliable partner in terms of machines, support and spare parts delivery.”
For that reason, Eltos S.p.A. decided to invest again with the most experienced company in direct image exposure system, the Israeli company Orbotech, installing the new Orbotech Diamond 10 direct image system for solder mask together with a Teknek contact cleaning system in a new clean room.
Diamond 10 is the top model in the Orbotech actual production, used by the most efficient PCB companies in the world, with very high performance in terms of quality and speed thanks to the 3 wave lengths spectrum, high depth focus, partial scaling and a patented illumination module architecture with a minimum DAM size of 50µ, a 75µ Solder Resist Opening and a ± 10µ registration accuracy.
The new Orbotech Diamond 10 will work with the already installed Orbotech Nuvogo 780XL, the Orbotech Paragon 8800 XL, and all these three units will continue to work together offering the best quality and performance fulfilling the expectations of Eltos customers.
