Bob Pease is big on hands-on engineering. He says, “A soldering iron is my Spice”. This is similar to a comment I heard in my consulting days: “An ounce of trial is better than a pound of opinion.” ...

I got a cute sample from Schmartboard. They make little circuit boards that have long strips on them so you can solder SOICs down and then wire up the chip with a combination of jumpers and ...

Although 3D printing stocks underperformed for the second year in a row in 2015 they saw a brief rally in March of this year after market leader Stratasys ...

The ‘Circuit Graver’ by [Zach Fredin] is an unconventional PCB milling machine, utilizing many 3D printed parts, the familiar bed-slinger style Cartesian bot layout and a unique cutting head.

The design and prototyping of printed electronic circuit boards has lagged behind the simple push-button approach used in 3D printing. To help remedy this, the Voltera V-One conductive ink printer ...

A new rapid prototyping machine has been launched on the Kickstarter crowdfunding website this week in the form of the Ex1 PCB 3D Printer ...

SchmartBoard has announced that patent 7,511,228 has been granted for the company’s “EZ” technology for hand-soldering surface-mount technology (SMT) electronic components (see ...

Amateur radio operators would prototype circuits on wooden boards, often using whatever was around as a substrate. Many times, this meant that the family’s cutting board ended up as a makeshift ...

Advanced Circuits takes PCB fabrication to the next level with technologies like cavity boards, via-in-pad processing, along with producing Microwave and RF boards, laser-drilled microvias, up to ...
