Printed Circuit Boards

AdvancedPCB’s PCB Artist™ is the best free PCB design software in the industry. Available as a free software download on our website (www.4pcb.com), it has become a favorite not only with engineering students but also advanced engineers due to its easy schematic to PCB layout, Gerber format, controlled autorouter, and extensive library of over 500,000 thousand parts.

At AdvancedPCB we take pride in sponsoring youth science competitions and we offer students discounts on PCBs for use in their engineering projects. We also keep an eye out for fun ways that young people can learn more about printed circuit boards and electronics.

When working with electronics and such small components during PCB assembly, having the right touch is essential. A simple miscue such as a component not being placed in an exact spot can ruin the entire board and force the process to begin again, which costs precious time and resources.

The Denver Post’s 2015 edition of Progress Colorado presents a positive picture of the strength and innovation across 16 industries. Aerospace, biosciences, energy, financial services, and technology are just a few of the fields showing vigorous growth in this state.

It’s our pleasure to sponsor student projects and competitions and we offer special student rates on PCBs to help you make your project ideas a reality. Another way that we like to help students realize their aspirations as future engineers is to keep them abreast of awesome resources that can help them expand their knowledge and interests in electronics.

Miniaturization is the name of the game for electronics companies these days. As new devices in all industries are announced, the race is on to create something even smaller and more powerful.

Not only are military and space applications requiring enhanced printed circuit boards, commercial aviation companies need specialized PCBs to deliver consistency, performance, and reliability. As the amount of electronic devices used in commercial aircraft continues to grow, integrated devices and new interfaces are needed in order to improve safety and ensure that multiple complex networks work together seamlessly.

For years, epoxy laminates and glass fiber have been the foundation of the printed circuit boards in use throughout the world. In essence, these materials make up the green board that houses the components, resistors and connections needed to run the entire operation.

As you continue on your collegiate career, it may seem difficult to choose one field that you want to specialize in. If you’ve spent a lot of time growing up building robots and computers or even designing new products that you want, electrical engineering may be your calling.
