Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

MODUL will Enhance the Drilling/Routing Capabilities of CCI
May 26, 2021 | CCI Canadian Circuits Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
CCI Canadian Circuits Inc., a leading manufacturer of printed circuit boards in North America, announced a new addition to their machine line-up, the Schmoll Maschinen Drilling/Routing System – MODUL.
One of the main highlights of the Schmoll Maschinen Drilling / Routing System – MODUL is its automated high-precision Camera Alignment System. With this machine, the company has gained the advanced capabilities to fabricate a broad range of HDI PCBs. It has enhanced CCI’s capabilities to offer a fast turn-around for Blind and Buried via jobs and control depth drilling.
The main highlights of the machine are as follows:
- High Speed Drilling
- Non-conductive surface precision depth control and back drilling
- Advanced Inner layer registration
- Smart Auto loader for 24/7production time
- High precision Camera Alignment System
- Accurate Routing/Drilling capabilities
- Auto inspection of drill and router bits for diameter and quality
“This equipment acquisition takes CCI Canadian Circuits into the next phase of PCB technology. Over the past few years, our team has worked extremely hard to improve our quality, technology, and capabilities. The addition of this modern equipment in our existing machine line-up places us at the top of the ladder when it comes to being a preferred PCB supplier and manufacturer in North America,” said Praveen Arya, President, CCI Canadian Circuits. “This investment is a testament to our commitment to continue manufacturing high-quality printed circuit boards for our customers based on their evolving design and manufacturing needs.”
“MODUL supports Industry 4.0, and it is easy to integrate the machine data into the CCI Canadian Circuits ERP system. The data can be fetched and analyzed to increase the efficiency of the existing PCB manufacturing processes and enhance overall capabilities,” said Tamendra Thapa, Operations Manager, CCI Canadian Circuits.

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
