PCB East 2026: AI Infrastructure, Advanced PCB Technologies, and the Future of Electronics Manufacturing

05/19/2026 | Doug Dixon, 360Circuits
After attending PCB East 2026, it became clear to me that the electronics industry is entering a major transition driven by AI infrastructure, increasing power density, and growing system complexity, extending far beyond semiconductors alone. What stood out was how critical PCB technology, materials science, thermal management, and advanced manufacturing have become to the future of electronics. The industry is now facing many challenges, including tighter manufacturing tolerances, material shortages, rising costs, and growing pressure to digitally transform engineering and manufacturing operations.

Marcy’s Musings: Additive Processes, Signal Consequences

05/19/2026 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's Musings
Signal integrity and additive manufacturing, particularly in metallization, are defining themes in modern PCB design and fabrication. PCB layouts are meticulously engineered systems designed to meet strict electrical and power performance targets. However, achieving those targets does not end at the design stage. Once a design enters fabrication, metallization processes—the precise plating of conductive traces—play a critical role in ensuring that signal speed, reliability, and integrity are achieved in the final physical board.
