REAL TIME WITH... IPC APEX EXPO 2020 SHOW & TELL MAGAZINE I I-CONNECT007 99 so without damaging the underlying substrate and is so fast that the substrate does not even get warm. In addition, I was informed and observed that solder that had already been melted previously would not be affected, but new solder joints would flow immediately with no evidence of heat. 2. DRV-Z1 by Vision Engineering DRV-71 claims to be the world's first digital 3D, high-definition (HD) viewer with a wide- screen digital display that allows remote view- ing, capturing, and sharing of the same 3D image across networks. Specifically designed for inspection and manufacturing applications. DRV-71 allows you to see a greatly magnified image in 3D HD just by observing the unit's display with no headset or glasses—just your two eyes. It combines optical stereo micros- copy and digital technology into a single, unique system. Speaking as someone who has been follow- ing XR (virtual reality and extended reality) for a while, the display was amazing. I was able to magnify a plated hole and then delve down into it to inspect the hole wall in true 3D with extremely high magnification and resolution. The photo does not do justice to the real image that I saw on display in 3D, but remember that no 3D headset or glasses are required, which stands out. Conclusion At IPC APEX EXPO 2020, I wandered the show floor some, but also caught up with friends and colleagues. I still look forward to seeing people, but next year, I will dedicate more time to seeing and learning about all the new advances in devices, processes, and technologies being shown at the "micro CES" show.
