A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a ...
In a recent video [QWZ Labs] demonstrates an interesting technique to use 3D printing to make creating custom PCBs rather straightforward even if all you have is a 3D printer and a roll of copper ...
Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I am a true ‘do-it-yourselfer’. My father instilled in me at a young age that ‘you can do anything you set your mind to’ attitude. So when I heard that it ...
A few years ago, I wrote a few columns titled Making A Thing. These columns were a tutorial of sorts for several different 3D modeling programs. This column wasn’t meant to be a complete guide to ...
Printed circuit board (PCB) design is a complex endeavor, but it’s more manageable when you have access to the right tools. Numerous companies now offer PCB design tools that allow collaboration ...
The greatest barriers to integrating RFiD technology into electronics manufacturing have been lack of knowledge and integration complexity. Beta LAYOUT with our partners in the RFID Value Creators in ...
A researcher at the University of Oxford has developed a reliable way to make PCBs with 10?m conductors. Constant width gaps (white) between tracks (blue) on this test PCB from the University of ...
