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.

Michael Gleason joins GreenSource Fabrication LLC
August 11, 2021 | GreenSourceEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Michael M. Gleason has recently joined GreenSource Fabrication LLC as director of product development.
Michael’s arrival will add more depth to the company’s vision of how product development needs to evolve; understanding market needs and develop products and processes that address those needs. While also being prudent business opportunities to continue GreenSource Fabrication on the growth path that was started four years ago.
Michael will create a Product Development Team that will focus on all aspects of developing products and processes, up to and including launching the products into the marketplace.
Michael has worked in the industry for 15+ years and brings a wide breadth of knowledge and experience to GreenSource Fabrication. Most recently Michael was a Principle PCB Manufacturing Engineer for Draper Laboratories in Cambridge, MA. Prior to Draper Laboratories Michael held various management positions for West Coast PCB fabricators. Michael is excited about our new facility and will be involved very early in the product development cycle, an approach he believes will revolutionize GreenSource Fabrication‘s position in the marketplace. Michael is; “…elated to be a part of such a forward-thinking and technically advanced organization as GreenSource Fabrication. As a former client, I had the opportunity to experience GreenSource Fabrication from a customer’s perspective. I am excited to join GreenSource Fabrication and have the opportunity to contribute to advancing PCB technology in North America.”
GreenSource Fabrication President George W. Whelen V said, “We are ecstatic to have someone of Michael’s caliber join GreenSource Fabrication. Michael shares our vision of helping to re-establish North America as a center of excellence and technology for the PCB industry.”

Root-cause Analysis and Problem-solving
11/01/2024 | Happy Holden, I-Connect007An essential skill for any process engineer in printed circuit fabrication is the ability to conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) and problem-solving. These are related to TQC and Six Sigma applications and are essential for customer support and continued profitability. All engineers will encounter these methods sooner or later, but it will likely be sooner if you are in product or process engineering in manufacturing.
