We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.
Inner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering 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.

AT&S Unveils New Image Video 'What if'
July 20, 2021 | AT&SEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
AT&S, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of substrate-like printed circuit boards and IC substrates, impressively demonstrates in its new image video the important role AT&S products play in digitalization and why its solutions are the basis and enabler for networking and digitalizing the world.
“The film consists of two parallel plots, that of the 12-year-old girl Ree and that of emerging technologies,” explains Daniel Bauer, owner and director of the Graz-based creative agency ShotShotShot. “When we follow Ree and her dog Captain on their way through the forest, we learn a lot about the demands and desires that people associate with technology.” Connections are made, things can be experienced and grasped, and one’s own story is described in a positive way that is in harmony with the environment. The video, which was shot in Styria and also in Slovenia, triggers emotions. The main protagonist – Ree – is 12-year-old Stella Legat from Bruck/Mur.
The triad of “Recognize trends. Seize opportunities. Create innovations.” has made us a global technology leader,” says AT&S CEO Andreas Gerstenmayer. “Every day we contribute to the technological progress of our customers and the interconnected world. We have our ear to the market, we set standards, we offer solutions – for miniaturization and modularization, for performance and efficiency, for safety and sustainability. Open-mindedness and shaping progress drive us across all locations and nationalities. And that’s exactly what our new image video conveys.” Several scenes show the development and application of future-oriented technology. They show how future is being created today and that work is already being done on technologies that will shape our tomorrow.
“The AT&S image film is not only aimed at all those who are interested in the AT&S phenomenon and want to know in which future-oriented products AT&S technology is integrated,” says Gerald Reischl, Director Communications & PR at AT&S, “but the video is also intended to appeal to and inspire those who want to become customers or employees of the company. We want the video to position us not only as an innovative company, but as an attractive employer.” “What If…” aims on the one hand to generate understanding of the huge impact AT&S technologies have on our lives, our environment and our future. On the other hand, the film provides an answer – AT&S – We provide the solutions – today, for the technology of tomorrow.

EDA Tools and the Designer of the Future
01/28/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineWe’re seeing new, young technologists moving into the PCB design and design engineering segment, and it’s just in time; many veteran designers are headed to retirement. At the same time, there have been various recent advances in EDA tools. What will the PCB designer’s job—and the designer’s software tools—look like in the next five years? Bob Potock, vice president of marketing for Zuken USA, weighs in on the PCB designers of tomorrow, and the EDA tools that will take them into an evermore complex future.
Fresh PCB Concepts: Tariffs and the Importance of a Diverse Supply Chain
01/28/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsWith the new Trump administration, we anticipate an increase in tariffs on products from China, including printed circuit boards (PCBs). The current U.S. tariffs on PCBs from China is 25%, with two-layer and four-layer boards excluded from the tariffs until May 31, 2025. I’ve recently received a lot of questions about tariffs, even from the engineering end. While we are uncertain what the future will hold, this situation illustrates why it’s important to have a diverse supply chain.
