Current IssueDon’t Just Survive, Thrive
If we are to be relevant and prosper during these next critical decades in electronics, we must do more than survive. As an industry, we can and must thrive. In this issue, our contributors explore these concepts meant to help you take your business to the next level.
Material Matters
Materials management is nuanced, multifaceted, and requires a holistic systems approach for business success. When building high mix, low volume, and high technology, managing materials and overall cost containment are even greater challenges.
Additive Manufacturing
In this month’s issue, we explore additive manufacturing technology for the PCB fabricator: where it stands today, the true benefits, and where it seems to be headed.

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: Materials for PWB Fabrication—Drillability and Metallization
07/16/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankLaminate materials are the building blocks on which printed circuit boards are manufactured. Circuit board designers rely on the critical electrical properties of the materials to design the interconnects, and with the drive toward IoT (internet of things), autonomous driving, and virtual and augmented reality, material properties take on a very high level of importance.
Beyond Prepreg: The Glassless ‘Revolution’
06/25/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineAs our industry rallies around the call to action for HDI and UHDI, we find unparalleled and myriad laminate options. This abundance is rivaled only by the question surrounding them: Can they measure up to the high technology packaging demands required in our near future? Unsurprisingly, recent developments in FR-4-esque materials for high-speed and high-density designs, as well as newer, glassless technology for replacing traditional glass-impregnated laminates and prepreg, are garnering much interest. I caught up with Alun Morgan, technology ambassador for Ventec International Group, to ask about the impending “glassless revolution” and how it’s poised to solve some of our manufacturing challenges.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Lamination and Materials
06/19/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsAs many of you have likely figured out, I am quite passionate about the subject of designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. I wrote a book about it and I participate in an I-Connect007 On the Line with… podcast series dedicated to the subject. This companion article will focus on multilayer lamination, keeping the bigger picture in mind: Realistic PCB designs should prioritize manufacturability and reliability of the PCB as well as meet the other design requirements. So, one must account for the production variables associated with individual manufacturing partners.
Day 2: A Full Day at the EIPC Summer Conference
06/19/2024 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Editor's note: This is the third and final report from the EIPC Summer Conference. It was a bright and early start to the second day of the 2024 EIPC Summer Conference at the European Space Centre, Noordwijk, The Netherlands, June 4-5. A short journey by bus from the hotel in Leiden and our security passes from the day before got us through the gate and to our seats in the Newton Room for Session 4, “Material Studies,” moderated by Martyn Gaudion.
