The exciting news is that they are about to turn the industry on its head because they’ve just introduced the ability to LDI the solder mask — all … Read More → "Laser Imaging PCB Solder Masks is a Game Changer"
It’s funny how, when you keep on hearing stories about companies heading in one direction, the news that someone is going the other way makes you sit up and pay attention. It reminds me of that old saying: “‘Dog bites a man’ is not news; ‘Man bites a dog’ is news.”
In my case, for the past couple of years I’ve been talking with companies … Read More → "Microchip’s New CoaXPress 2.0 Chips Speed Machine Vision"
