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.

nano3Dprint Unveils Cutting-Edge Conductive Silver Ink Products in Collaboration with Creative Materials
August 27, 2024 | PRWEBEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
nano3Dprint, a leading additive manufacturing and printed electronics solutions provider, is thrilled to announce the launch of its groundbreaking Conductive Silver Ink Products for use in nano3Dprint's A2200, B3300 and MatDep Pro 3D printers. Developed in partnership with Creative Materials, these innovative inks are set to revolutionize the direct write printed electronics industry. nano3Dprint DW100-24 is a waterborne, low V.O.C., electrically conductive ink and coating, suitable for application by Direct Write 3D printing using nano3Dprint's line of multimaterial 3D printers. DW100-24 can air-dry at room temperature or be heat cured at 100°C - 175°C for maximum conductivity. This product features adhesion to Kapton, Mylar, glass, PLA, ABS and a variety of other surfaces. Unlike conventional conductive materials, this product is very resistant to flexing and creasing. Some applications for DW100-24 include, embedded 3D circuitry, medical electrodes, PCBs, polymer thick film circuitry, membrane switches and static elimination. DW100-24 is N-methyl Pyrrolidone free.
Key Features of nano3Dprint's Conductive Silver Ink Products:
- Ramsey Stevens, CEO of nano3Dprint: "We're excited to collaborate with Creative Materials to bring these cutting-edge conductive silver ink products to the market. Our commitment to innovation and sustainability drives us forward."
- High Conductivity: The silver ink formulations boast exceptional electrical conductivity, making them ideal for a wide range of applications, from flexible circuits to sensors.
- Precision Printing: nano3Dprint technology ensures precise deposition, allowing engineers and designers to create intricate patterns with ease.
- Versatility: Whether you're working with rigid substrates or flexible materials, DW100-24 conductive silver ink adheres uniformly, enabling seamless integration into various electronic devices.
- Environmental Friendliness: nano3Dprint prioritizes sustainability by minimizing waste during production and ensuring that nano3Dprint's inks are environmentally friendly.
Applications:
- Printed Electronics: nano3Dprint's conductive silver inks enable the fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCBs), antennas, and touch sensors.
- Wearable Technology: Designers can now incorporate conductive traces directly onto flexible substrates and fabrics, revolutionizing wearable devices.
- Internet of Things (IoT): nano3Dprint inks facilitate the creation of smart sensors, RFID tags, and other IoT components.
- Medical Devices: nano3Dprint's silver inks are compatible with embedded electronics applications, making them ideal for next-generation Orthopedics and embedded sensor medical devices.

Rethinking Stackup, Materials, and Tolerances in Modern Designs
05/14/2026 | Kristin Moyer, Global Electronics AssociationThe simple rectangular rigid PCB is becoming increasingly infrequent. This reality necessitates designing with concepts well outside traditional rigid PCB methodologies. For example, the designer of wearable electronics may need to implement conductive fibers integrated into the textile material. Heads-up displays, like those in VR/AR headsets and glasses, require transparent circuitry etched into the display glass. The process of designing without a rule book usually starts with something other than the traditional board design process.
Jeonbuk Researchers Advance Segregated Composite Fabrication and Modeling
03/18/2026 | PRNewswireModern portable and wearable electronic devices increasingly integrate high-performance components and wireless communication technologies. While this integration enhances functionality, it also raises the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and heat accumulation, both of which can degrade device performance and reliability.
ICT Winter Seminar: Leading-edge Developments in Electronics Manufacturing
01/29/2026 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Early fog made the journey challenging for those travelling from afar, but it lifted to reveal a clear blue sky over Hinckley, Leicestershire, which is actually closer to the exact geographical centre of England than the familiar Meriden venue, for the Institute of Circuit Technology winter seminar in December. An intriguing programme, focused on some leading-edge developments in electronics manufacturing, more than justified the effort to attend.
