Current IssueThe Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.
Fueling the Workforce Pipeline
We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.

WISE Partners with TTM Technologies for Syracuse uHDI Manufacturing Facility
March 4, 2025 | TTM Technologies, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
TTM Technologies (“TTM”) has selected WISE as a key partner and exclusive supplier of horizontal wet process machines for its new ultra-high-density interconnect (“uHDI”) PCB manufacturing facility in Syracuse, NY.
This cutting-edge facility, adjacent to TTM’s existing campus, represents a major investment in North American high-tech manufacturing. With a projected capital investment of $100-$130 million, the project will generate approximately 400 skilled jobs in manufacturing and engineering.
WISE will provide 15 advanced wet and mechanical process machines, ensuring optimized PCB production and reinforcing its long-standing partnership with TTM. WISE’s strong presence in the U.S., supported by its trusted partners Technica USA and Photo Chemical Systems, played a crucial role in this agreement.
In addition to providing state-of-the-art equipment, WISE offers outstanding support through two strategically stocked spare parts inventories in the USA territory and a team of 10 factory-trained technicians across the U.S. This strong service network ensures fast response times and dependable maintenance for TTM’s operations.
Phil Titterton, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of TTM Technologies, stated, “WISE’s expertise and strong U.S. support system make them a key partner in achieving our manufacturing goals.”
Massimo Passerini, Chief Executive Officer of WISE, added, “We are proud to contribute to TTM’s growth with our cutting-edge technology and dedicated service network.”
This partnership strengthens domestic PCB production, advancing high-tech manufacturing and reinforcing WISE’s commitment to excellence in the U.S. market.

Bridging the Gap Between PCB Designers and Fabricators
04/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWith today’s advanced EDA tools, designing complex PCBs in the virtual world does not necessarily mean they can be built in the real world. This makes the relationship between a PCB designer and a fabricator pivotal to the success of a project. In keeping with solid design for manufacturing (DFM) practices, clear and frequent communication is needed to dial and lock in design constraints that meet expectations while addressing manufacturing concerns.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
