June 27, 2024 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AdvancedPCB, a leader in printed circuit board (PCB) design and manufacturing, announces its launch, combining Advanced Printed Circuit Technology (APCT), Advanced Circuits, Inc. (ACI), and San Diego PCB Design (SDPCB), into a next-generation PCB manufacturer.
"Since the founding of APCT in 1977, we've expanded operations and expertise through more than 10 acquisitions. At the same time, we've consistently teamed up with global leaders in PCB design, manufacturing, and innovation," says AdvancedPCB CEO Peter Austin. "This new brand represents our commitment to powering the next generation of technology, from healthcare to aerospace and defense to consumer products."
"The semiconductor industry continues to grow quickly in North America and across the globe. American-made AdvancedPCB is well positioned to service this growth," Austin adds. "Our products and solutions extend through global markets, providing enterprises in myriad sectors outside of North America with the same range of security, reliability, and quality standards that customers within the United States have come to expect."
AdvancedPCB operates six PCB manufacturing sites and four PCB design sites across the United States, employing nearly 1,000 people and already serving as the second largest PCB manufacturer in North America. With an expansive factory network and design capabilities, AdvancedPCB can manufacture a wide range of customized circuit boards, from simple prototypes to complex production, all while providing unmatched high-quality technology and turn times.
AdvancedPCB also launches its new website today, allowing engineers, makers, engineering students, and procurement professionals to quickly find the type of products and design services they require for the next wave of advanced technology. PCB enthusiasts and designers alike can create custom designs and get instant quotes. Customers can also take advantage of discounts and savings during the company's first annual pcbday™ on July 9, 2024.

Setting Design Constraints Effectively
07/31/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPCB design requires controlling energy within the medium of a PCB. The manner in which we control the chaos of energy is by implementing and utilizing physical and electrical rules, known as constraints, along with a specific structure and material(s) that make up what is known as the foundation of the design. These rules govern everything within the PCB structure and generally fall into two camps: performance and manufacturability. Setting this foundation correctly is extremely important and the key to success.
Direct Metallization: A Sustainable Shift in PCB Fabrication
07/31/2025 | Jim Watkowski, Harry Yang, and Mark Edwards, MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsThe global electronics industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the need for more resilient supply chains and environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices. Printed circuit boards (PCBs), the backbone of interconnection for electronic devices, are at the center of this shift. Traditionally, PCB fabrication has relied heavily on electroless copper, a process that, while effective, is resource-intensive and environmentally hazardous. In response, many manufacturers are turning to direct metallization technologies as a cleaner, more efficient alternative.
