Most of us who have dabbled a little in electronics will have made our own printed circuit boards at some point. We’ll have rubbed on sticky transfers, laser-printed onto acetate, covered our clothing ...

The evolution of PCBs from large and antiquated “printed wiring boards” to today’s fine-line designs on high-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs, IC substrates (ICS) and more, has been matched by ...

Printed circuit board (PCB) is a fundamental component used in virtually all electronic devices, providing the physical platform for mounting and connecting electronic components such as resistors, ...

Software that enables designers and manufacturers to collaborate via the cloud to design PCBs and to identify and correct any manufacturability violations according to a specific manufacturer’s ...

Testing is a key element of printed-circuit-board (PCB) design. If PCB testing is used at all stages of the production process, manufacturers can save resources and increase productivity by ensuring ...

Siemens today announced it has acquired ASTER Technologies (“ASTER”), a privately held market leader in printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) test verification and engineering software. This strategic ...

It has taken almost a decade for automated optical inspection (AOI) systems to establish their place on PCB production lines. In the same period, the number of AOI vendors and the variety of AOI ...

Siemens plans to integrate Aster's advanced "shift-left" design for test functionality into Siemens' Xpedition and Valor ...
