The July issue of PCB007 Magazine will be published later this week. Can’t wait to download it? Enjoy this preview that explains how we arrived at the topic of “Rethinking Manufacturing,” as well as what you can expect to read inside.
Preview
This issue is an exploration of the rethinking currently underway across the industry. Our conversations on rethinking manufacturing include re-imagining wet processes, additive, and subtractive processes. We also explore rethinking the tools available to your incoming CAM department in the form of best practices for landing pads, the advantages of the new VeCS technology, and more information on Elsyca’s sophisticated CAM analysis software. This issue provides some insight into the Chinese industry’s recovery within the global marketplace (as reported by Prismark) and takes you through a real-world example of how ransomware can be a serious threat to your business.
The July issue is jam-packed with columnists. Dr. John Mitchell considers regional manufacturing, and Tara Dunn discusses additive versus subtractive processes. Todd Kolmodin asks if we can have too much automation. Then, Mike Carano posts part two of “A Process Engineer’s Guide to Advance Troubleshooting,” and Steve Williams delivers Part Four of his series “Guerilla Tactics to Pass Any QMS Audit.” But that’s not all. Mike Hill clarifies MIL-PRF-31032 certification, and Marc Ladle looks at LED UV curing.
We hope that you look forward to reading this and more in the July issue of PCB007 Magazine. Be sure you’re subscribed by clicking here so that you don't miss the latest issue as soon as it’s released.

Twenty-plus years is a long time to lead a business during a long decline in the industry, but IMI President and CEO Peter Bigelow remains quite confident about the future. The company is in a strong financial position, running well, and looking at new technologies. So, what’s his biggest challenge? It’s not much different than any other manufacturer you talk to, and while he may not have all the answers, he’s clearly got insight to share.

It’s almost as if upheaval is the new normal. We often describe slow-moving but unstoppable change as moving in “geologic time.” But occasionally–like an earthquake–geology shifts suddenly. Here in my office, tracking the news of the industry, things are moving faster than geologic time, but more slowly than the jolt of an earthquake. The wave seems almost surfable, where before it seemed overwhelming. In this week’s list, we bring news from five different, high-vibration areas in our industry. If you read nothing else this week, these five items will keep you informed.

This year, I had the great opportunity to come to IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego as a contributing member in Chemcut’s booth. Being an exhibitor is always interesting because you never know what you will learn or who you will meet. Truly, it seems that every IPC APEX EXPO is an eye-opening experience. This was the second show I attended, and last year I was amazed to see how in-depth and interconnected the electronics industry is. Seeing how many different companies contribute to manufacturing today’s core technology never fails to impress me.
