Sunstone and I-007eBooks Launch Book on Designing for Reality
October 27, 2022 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
I-007eBooks is excited to announce the release of the latest title in its series for designers, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Designing for Reality.
This book covers both written and unwritten rules for how to create a realistic, manufacturable design.
Written by topic expert Matt Stevenson of Sunstone Circuits, this book covers the complete circuit board manufacturing process, taking readers on a virtual tour of the printed circuit manufacturing process, from choosing the right CAD tool, to additive/subtractive processes, and even touching on the art of PCB design.
Peer reviewer Duane Benson of Screaming Circuits, says, “I find that having a better understanding of the underlying process helps me create higher quality electronic designs. In this book, Matt Stevenson does a fantastic job of opening the hood and giving the reader that knowledge of the PC board fab process.”
Download your free copy today at I-007eBooks.com/dfr. You can also view our full library at I-007eBooks.com.
Dedicated to educating PCB designers, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… series of books is a valuable resource for people seeking the most relevant information available.
Look for other exciting titles, like:
- The Evolving PCB NPI Process
- Thermal Management with Insulated Substrates
- Stackups: The Design within the Design
- High Performance Materials
- System Analysis: Electromagnetic Interference and Thermal Analysis of Electronic Systems
- …and more coming this fall
We hope you enjoy The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Designing for Reality.

EDADOC: Building the ‘Neural Hub’ for High-Compute Chips Within a Compact Space
04/28/2026 | ECIOEvery chip to the market must pass a stringent checkpoint before shipment known as ATE testing. Serving as the physical “neural hub” that connects test equipment worth millions of dollars with the device under test, the performance of the ATE test board directly determines the accuracy, efficiency, and final yield of chip testing. Amid the rapid rise of high-compute chips, what extreme challenges is this seemingly small circuit board facing? How is EDADOC addressing industry pain points through its one-stop “design + manufacturing” model?
The Chemical Connection: When the Industry Moves Faster Than the Standards
04/29/2026 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAs a supplier of wet processing equipment, we have rules and standards we must adhere to, including both regional and national electrical codes and safety and environmental regulations, as well as myriad other standards to make the equipment safe to use. Things are a little different when it comes to rules and standards for manufacturing PCBs, though, because technical advances and requirements change so quickly that standards can’t keep up.
Driving Innovation: Selecting the Right Laser Source
04/28/2026 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationWhen I first joined Schmoll Maschinen, I brought experience from almost every PCB process, except for laser. As I immersed myself in laser processing, I realized why it can seem so daunting to a newcomer. The complexity arises from three intersecting factors: A vast variety of laser sources: CO2, UV-nano, green-pico, UV-pico, IR-pico, and others; a diverse range of applications: Drilling, cutting, ablation, and more; and an extensive list of materials: These have vastly different absorption rates. Choosing the right machine or laser source is rarely trivial. Even for experienced engineers, answering "Which source is best?" requires examining the business's specific goals.
Market Insights with Pluritec's Maurizio Bonati
