How Additive Manufacturing and AI Are Transforming PCB Production A New Chapter for PCB Manufacturing For decades, PCB production followed a steady rhythm: design, etch, inspect, repeat. Reliable, yes, but increasingly strained by the demands of compact, high performance electronics. Now two technologies are reshaping that rhythm entirely. Additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence are accelerating […]

PCB Supply Chain and Logistics Strategies: The UK Supplier Advantage Procurement and supply chain professionals in electronics manufacturing are navigating a new landscape of higher costs and unpredictable delays. Global disruptions like Brexit and the pandemic have exposed the fragility of long supply lines, making cost control and reliable deliveries top priorities. In response, many […]
PCB Design for Manufacturability – Best Practices Designing a printed circuit board is not simply a matter of placing components and drawing copper tracks. For a PCB to move efficiently from concept to production, it must be designed with manufacturability in mind from the very beginning. Without this approach, even the most innovative layouts can […]
Why UK PCB Manufacturing Matters for UK Businesses The Shifting Landscape of UK PCB Manufacturing In 2025, UK PCB manufacturing has re-emerged as a vital part of the nation’s drive toward supply chain resilience and technological independence. For decades, most British electronics firms relied on China to fabricate printed circuit boards (PCBs). But as global […]
