Dana on Data: Merging 2D Electrical, 3D Mechanical Worlds

December 4, 2024 | Dana Korf, Dana on Data

Imagine the day when placing components and routing signal traces and power planes are not constrained by 2D PCB fabrication processes and materials. Astronauts working on the space station have equipment mounted on all axes. They are not constrained by having to stand on a flat surface. They already have a 3D printer at the space station. Why can’t we create PCBs in a 3D space?
