Aismalibar Adds Arkeo Stack to Library of Software Tools
February 9, 2021 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Aismalibar thermal conductive laminates, has added Arkeo Stack software to their library of software tools aimed at offering additional “value add” for their customer base. This advanced software offers PCB manufacturers the option of having Aismalibar create or evaluate a proposed build for a specific PCB design requirement. The software will calculate the thermal impedance for each layer as well as the complete build ensuring it will produce the required results.
Jeff Brandman, president of Aismalibar North America, says, “Those of you who know Aismalibar, know that we are always striving to find better ways to help our customers. That’s why we are so proud to add Arkeo Stack to our library of software tools that provide our customers with more value-benefits of working with us and with our fine line of Aismalibar Thermal conductive laminates.”
The Arkeo Stack software is preloaded with all the latest industry materials including IMS and heat sink materials. Offering accurate thermal impedance calculations, it also offers the ability to model thermal impedance values for sub-assemblies. The software includes all the necessary IMS thermal material information to be able to accurately design a stack up where thermal performance is key. Utilizing the APSIM impedance modelling platform the software also offers detailed impedance calculations.
Arkeo Stack is a fully automated, stack up generation software tool that quickly builds accurate and cost-conscious stack ups. Having your build created or double checked by Aismalibar reduces engineering time and costs while creating consistent, reliable builds. Arkeo Stack has a custom report generator that builds reports to suit the specific needs of your company during the processing and testing of your IMS printed circuit board.
This service is proudly offered to customers who purchase Aismalibar thermal conductive laminates. The service is designed to assist you to achieve the perfect stack up using thermal conductive materials. Aismalibar’s field application engineers have extensive experience in thermal management and PCB manufacturing and are ready to assist you with your PCB stack-up to achieve best results.

Trouble in Your Tank: Minimizing Small-via Defects for High-reliability PCBs
08/27/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankTo quote the comedian Stephen Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.” That can be the battle cry when you find that only small-diameter vias are exhibiting voids. Why are small holes more prone to voids than larger vias when processed through electroless copper? There are several reasons.
The Government Circuit: Navigating New Trade Headwinds and New Partnerships
08/25/2025 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitAs global trade winds continue to howl, the electronics manufacturing industry finds itself at a critical juncture. After months of warnings, the U.S. Government has implemented a broad array of tariff increases, with fresh duties hitting copper-based products, semiconductors, and imports from many nations. On the positive side, tentative trade agreements with Europe, China, Japan, and other nations are providing at least some clarity and counterbalance.
How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
50% Copper Tariffs, 100% Chip Uncertainty, and a Truce
08/19/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007If you’re like me, tariffs were not on your radar screen until a few months ago, but now political rhetoric has turned to presidential action. Tariffs are front-page news with major developments coming directly from the Oval Office. These are not typical times. President Donald Trump campaigned on tariff reform, and he’s now busy revamping America’s tariff policy.
Global PCB Connections: Understanding the General Fabrication Process—A Designer’s Hidden Advantage
08/14/2025 | Markus Voeltz -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsDesigners don’t need to become fabricators, but understanding the basics of PCB fabrication can save you time, money, and frustration. The more you understand what’s happening on the shop floor, the better you’ll be able to prevent downstream issues. As you move into more advanced designs like HDI, flex circuits, stacked vias, and embedded components, this foundational knowledge becomes even more critical. Remember: the fabricator is your partner.
