Electronic engineers are always looking for ways to push the discipline forward — becoming more environmentally friendly without compromising on the performance of the systems they create.
Direct 3D printing of electronic circuit boards is going to transform electronic engineering in the coming years.
3D printing enables electronic engineering teams to:
-Meet specialised needs through improved customisation
-Reduce waste by developing boards additively
-Embed boards directly into fully integrated systems
-Facilitate easy miniaturisation with System in Package (SiP) technology
-Develop and print complex systems with components already integrated
-Prototype and test products quickly,refining them and bringing them to market more quickly
All of these developments are exciting,but it's perhaps the last one that will have the biggest impact. Sustainability is key to the future of technology,and AME is helping developers minimise their carbon footprint and all but eliminate wasted materials.
