PCB Design in 2026 and Beyond
February 12, 2026 | Filbert Arzola, Raytheon
We asked several experts in PCB design and fabrication about the pressures shaping PCB fabrication today, including speed, density, geopolitics, and relentless technological complexity. The results were valuable insights about where we are, where we’re headed, and importantly, what it will take to get there. Here is Filbert (Fil) Arzola's view of what will be most important and influential for PCB designers going into 2026 and beyond.
Fresh PCB Concepts: Cost Stability in a Period of Copper and Gold Volatility
February 12, 2026 | Team NCAB, Fresh PCB Concepts
Anyone who works with PCBs in any capacity right now can feel that copper and laminate prices are not stagnant, gold price is increasing even faster, and the impact shows up quickly on PCB quotations. For many design teams, this feels like a force outside their control. Raw materials go up, and the board cost goes with it. I want to highlight that many of these swings are manageable.
