The December issue of The PCB Design Magazine will focus on "Strategies to Increase Profit". Designers have a plethora of ideas about how to best layout a PCB. But how many designers understand that good design techniques can lead their company to greater success, and even profit? In our cover story, Prototron’s Mark Thompson offers 10 design strategies that can help your bottom line. We also feature articles on profitable design strategies by Gary Griffin of Fast Interconnect and Barry Olney of In-Circuit Design Pty Ltd. And we round out this issue with interviews with Nolan Johnson of Sunstone Circuits and Greg Roberts of EMA Design Automation.

Designing Without a Rulebook: When Engineering Becomes Innovation
05/05/2026 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWhat if the very rules that made you successful as a PCB designer are the ones now holding you back? This reminds me of walking the floor and attending sessions at both PCB West 2025 and APEX EXPO 2026, where one common theme stood out: More designs with traditional PCB “best practices” simply don’t apply. It’s not because they’re wrong, but because the problems we’re solving have fundamentally changed. In some cases, those best practices can actually limit performance. This is where PCB design moves beyond optimization and into something far more challenging: designing without a rulebook.
