Odd Geometries
Remember when PCBs were all shaped like squares and rectangles? Things were so much simpler in the olden days. Now boards are designed, fabricated and assembled in all shapes, including stars, human hands, octopuses, triangles, and cursive signatures, just to name a few. And the wearables and automotive segments are driving the development of PCBs in odd shapes.
In this issue of Design007 Magazine, we discuss some of the challenges, pitfalls and mitigations to consider when designing non-standard board geometries. We will share strategies for designing odd-shaped PCBs, including manufacturing trade-offs and considerations required for different segments and perspectives.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Investing in Tomorrow's PCB Experts Today
09/24/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPeople often describe the PCB industry as one of the most critical yet invisible foundations of modern electronics. Every project needs a PCB, but few college programs or engineering curricula cover the complexity of board design, stackups, or manufacturability. That means the responsibility for developing the next generation of PCB experts falls on the industry itself.
