Imagine pressing a sleek, seamless dashboard control that appears to be part of the surface itself—no buttons, no bezels, just an elegant interface that lights up at your touch. Behind this seemingly magical interaction is a revolutionary approach called In-Mold Electronics (IME), where circuits are no longer attached to the surfaces of printed circuit boards. They have become the surface. The Problem with Traditional Interfaces For decades...

Printed Electronics: The Future of Flexible and Cost-Effective Circuit Design

7 min
Blog
What is Printed Electronics? Printed electronics is a rapidly evolving field that enables the creation of electronic circuits and components using printing techniques rather than traditional PCB manufacturing methods. Unlike conventional electronics, which rely on etched copper traces and rigid substrates, printed electronics leverage conductive inks and flexible materials such as plastics, paper, and textiles. This allows for thinner, lighter...

3D-MID in Focus: Principles, Processes, and Practical Use

8 min
Blog
Due to the miniaturization of electronic components and improvements in manufacturing and assembly processes, design trends are increasingly moving toward smaller, high-performance devices. For example, smartwatches and smart glasses now integrate powerful processors, displays, cameras, microphones, speakers, Bluetooth, Wi Fi, and built in antennas, among other features. This evolution challenges designers to continually reduce the space...

If you're an engineer or a sourcing professional, you’ve likely felt this pressure before: pick the right part, get it on time, stay under budget, make sure it works. The balance of cost, quality, and availability has always been a key consideration when selecting electronic components. However, in today's landscape, this balance has become arguably more challenging than ever to achieve, with the potential consequences of misjudgment more severe...

In an era when electronics are becoming more compact, powerful, and interconnected, complexity isn't just growing. It's compounding. Designers today aren’t just building single PCBs. They’re orchestrating full-blown electronic ecosystems where multiple boards must work in perfect harmony. Multi-board design is the new normal, whether it's a high-speed compute module connected to a power conversion board or a sensing PCB feeding into a...

The European Union's Medical Device Regulation (MDR), formally known as Regulation (EU) 2017/745, represents a significant shift in how medical devices are designed, developed, and brought to market. Implemented to enhance patient safety and improve product efficacy, the MDR enforces stricter oversight throughout the product lifecycle, from initial concept to post-market surveillance. For professionals in the medical electronics industry...
