What the Future May Have in store for printed circuit board fabrication
When asked about industry trends and innovations in the world of PCB design and manufacture, leading PCB manufacturing company Bay Area Circuits highlights the following areas as having the most potential to change the industry as a whole: The role of 3D Modeling For decades, PCBs have been designed and iterated in 2D layouts (first as technical drawings, then in 2D layout software). Today, designers and engineers create 3D conceptual models of PCBs before the printed circuit board fabrication begins. 3D modeling is becoming an increasingly popular PCB prototype service , as PCB manufacturing companies support electronics companies in speeding up production times, reducing costs, and increasing performance. The main benefits of 3D modeling include: Efficient placement of components Accurate performance modeling Integration assistance 3D PCB layouts allow manufacturers to get the very best performance from PCBs with intelligent component placement. Realistic 3D simulat...
