Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Nano Dimension Receives Another Purchase Order for DragonFly IV System from a Western Intelligence Agency
March 7, 2023 | Nano Dimension Ltd.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Nano Dimension Ltd., a leading supplier of Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME) and multi-dimensional polymer, metal & ceramic Additive Manufacturing (AM) 3D printers, announced that it has received a purchase order from a leading Western intelligence agency, for a DragonFly IV system, the leading Additive Manufacturing Electronics (AME) 3D-printer.
For reasons of national security, Nano Dimension cannot reveal the name of the country where the intelligence agency is situated, but this is clearly a continuation of the Company’s success in providing leading technology to those who need it most. This intelligence agency, and others like it, which include national armies, navies, air forces, and governmental secret services, rely on the DragonFly IV® to advance innovation in a way that other manufacturing technologies of electronics manufacturing cannot achieve.
The DragonFly IV® system and specialized materials serve cross-industry High-Performance-Electronic-Devices (Hi-PEDs®) fabrication needs by simultaneously depositing proprietary conductive and dielectric substances, while integrating in-situ capacitors, antennas, coils, transformers, and electromechanical components. The outcomes are Hi-PEDs® which are critical enablers of autonomous intelligent drones, cars, satellites, smartphones, and in vivo medical devices. In addition, these products enable iterative development, IP safety, fast time-to-market, and device performance gains.
"I am very excited that another Western Intelligence Agency is investing in the design and production of 3D electronics, to shorten its development cycles and bring to life innovative ideas which could not have been done before,” commented Amit Dror, co-Founder and Chief Customer Success Officer of Nano Dimension.
Mr. Yoav Stern, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nano Dimension, added: “Very importantly, this customer is buying the second machine of the Company, while the first one was Fabrica 2.0 machine. This is a beautiful manifestation of our claims that the synergies of all our acquisitions work together and efficienize our go-to-market performance. 3D printing technologies and materials are irreplaceable, and essential, both for electronics and micro-mechanical parts. Intelligence agencies are leading the forefront of technological innovation applied for high-performance applications, similar to aerospace, advanced medical fields, academy and corporate research departments. We are proud to be chosen as the supplier of such a unique organization. After many years of experience with advanced technologies in the Air Force, I know that leading edge products, which are adopted initially by defense forces, traditionally end up creating very large size commercial markets as well.”

AI Reshaping the Memory Market; Effects Spreading Across Industries
04/29/2026 | Dr. Shawn DuBravac, Global Electronics AssociationArtificial Intelligence is often framed as a software story focused on algorithms and models. But beneath that narrative lies a more fundamental shift rooted in hardware. AI is not just changing what technology can do; it’s changing how the physical components behind it are produced, allocated, and priced. One of the clearest examples of this shift is now emerging in the global memory market.
