December 2023 Design007 Magazine — The Odd Geometries Issue
December 11, 2023 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Feast your eyes on the December 2023 issue of Design007 Magazine!
Odd Geometries
Remember when PCBs were all shaped like squares and rectangles? Things were so much simpler in the olden days. Now boards are designed, fabricated and assembled in all shapes, including stars, human hands, octopuses, triangles, and cursive signatures, just to name a few. And the wearables and automotive segments are driving the development of PCBs in odd shapes.
In this issue of Design007 Magazine, we discuss some of the challenges, pitfalls and mitigations to consider when designing non-standard board geometries. We will share strategies for designing odd-shaped PCBs, including manufacturing trade-offs and considerations required for different segments and perspectives.
