Extending the life of aerospace equipment goes hand-in-hand with proactive planning for future component transitions. Just as electric vehicles (EVs) have evolved to incorporate components and features once exclusive to consumer electronics, aerospace systems may eventually follow suit—adopting smaller, more powerful, and more sustainable parts. While aerospace maintains a much higher degree of regulatory compliance, the industry can at least...

The automotive industry relies heavily on electronics for safety, performance, and user experience. From engine control units (ECUs) to infotainment systems, electronic components must meet strict standards to ensure reliability in harsh conditions. Unlike consumer electronics, automotive grade components must withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, moisture, and long lifespans. To ensure quality, manufacturers follow international standards...

E-waste is a growing concern for electronics companies and has become a critical consideration in sustainable PCB component sourcing. With more than 50 million tonnes of e-waste produced each year, the electronics industry contributes significantly to this figure in all stages of the supply chain, making it a collective issue. As companies look to align their efforts with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12: Responsible Consumption and...

A dashboard control that appears as part of the surface itself, with no visible buttons or bezels, offers a sleek and intuitive user experience. This functionality is made possible by injection molded structural electronics (IMSE), a technology that embeds circuits directly into molded plastic rather than placing them on rigid PCBs. IMSE is reshaping how engineers integrate electronics into products by turning everyday surfaces into intelligent...

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...
