Most of us who have dabbled a little in electronics will have made our own printed circuit ... boards. Some operations are very different from those you’d do at home, for example the holes ...

A manufacturer’s perspective on determining parts layout.

In this three part video series we watch [Dirk Herrendoerfer] go from scraps to a nice 3D printed assembly as he iterates through the design of a pen plotter for making circuit boards.

As demand for next-generation semiconductor chips grows, a team of researchers has succeeded in laser-drilling the world's tiniest circuit board holes, measuring a near-inconceivable 3 micrometers ...
