Create manufacturing-ready footprints & 3D models with Autodesk Library.io
https://www.electronics-lab.com/create-manufacturing-ready-footprints-3d-models-with-autodesk-library-io/
If you ever made a PCB, you quickly realized that the component library of the PCB design software is usually pretty limited for such sophisticated programs. Usually, one has to resort to external tools to access the schematic symbols, footprints and 3D models, or design our own in the designer, which takes some precious time […]

Electronic assemblies without PCBs but with Laser direct structuring
https://www.electronics-lab.com/electronic-assemblies-without-pcbs-but-with-laser-direct-structuring/
Laser direct structuring (LDS) is a special success story. For almost 20 years, it has been possible to apply electronic conductor paths directly onto plastic parts during series production. Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) – The structure of the conductor path is applied using the LDS process. LDS enables electronic assemblies to be made in flexible […]
Vapor Phase One, The New Industry’s most dynamic PCB soldering process
https://www.electronics-lab.com/vapor-phase-one-the-new-industrys-most-dynamic-pcb-soldering-process/
A new crowd supply campaign has been launched for the Vapor Phase One, which is the industry’s most dynamic PCB soldering method available now to hobbyists and development engineers alike. Compared to infrared and conventional soldering, the vapor phase process works perfectly at controlling high thermal mass assemblies. Big SMD capacitors, high-power inductors, also metal […]

HARTING Europe, Component carrier now replacing flexible PCBs
https://www.electronics-lab.com/harting-europe-component-carrier-now-replacing-flexible-pcbs/
Flexible circuit boards offer numerous advantages. However, the mechanical fixation of these circuit boards is highly complex. HARTING has developed a new solution based on 3D-MID technology that is capable of replacing flexible circuit boards. Thanks to component carriers, cost savings of up to two-thirds can be achieved. At the MID process, on the injection […]
