A new 3D design process is evolving gradually from that 2D heritage. When Tezzaron designed its first 3D circuits in 2003, the designers used standard 2D CAD tools and cobbled together a 3D DRC and ...

He’s come up with a way of creating PCBs with any 3D printer and steel rod. The results are better than anything you could make with a circuit board printer, and the technique is very ...

A 3D printer that dispenses conducting ink to create circuit-completed boards has garnered nearly five times its $70,000 crowdsourcing goal. The Voltera V-One 3D printer claims to be able to ...

The ANSYS design flow yields power losses across the entire board and determines whether the integrated circuit (IC) and overall board temperatures lie within safe operating limits and predicts ...

Traditional printed circuit boards are pretty much stuck being flat ... a smart new technique called CHARM3D. And it's not just 3D – these printed circuits can actually heal themselves, too.

Conductive filament exists, but it takes more than that to 3D print something like a circuit board. The main issue is that traces made from conductive filament are basically resistors; they don ...

This paper presents a reference design flow for solving the electrical, thermal and mechanical challenges of a printed circuit board (PCB) using simulation tools from ANSYS. This approach can be ...
