Royal Circuit Solu-
tions, a digital
manufacturing
leader of custom
circuit boards,
has completed its
acquisition of
South Coast Circuits in order to
further expand its quick-turn printed
circuit board fabrication services.
Isola's Travis Kelly provides an over-
view of many important topics the
industry is facing, including how the
global supply chain is being strained
by materials, and what companies
are trying to do to best manage the
items within their control.
Designers of today's
complex printed
circuit boards
occasionally
encounter setbacks
due to their lack of
early planning. In this article, Altium's Vince
Mazur explains how designers can be served
by a design for manufacturing (DFM) mindset
to help assure first-pass success.
If you want a book that not only
shows how to be creative and
spark your own creativity, but
provides real-life examples of
what true originality looks like,
this is the book for you. It is a
small book filled with 119 ways
to spark your own creativi-
ty. I keep it on my desk so that
when I get stuck for an idea, I look through it and find
something that will get my engine running again.

like this before, this one feels different.
