New 3D printing method enables complex designs and creates less waste

4 days ago | wevolver.com | Jennifer Chu

Hearing aids, mouth guards, dental implants, and other highly tailored structures are often products of 3D printing. These structures are typically made via vat photopolymerization — a form of 3D printing that uses patterns of light to shape and solidify a resin, one layer at a time. The process also involves printing structural supports from the same material to hold the product in place as it’s printed.
How to Test a Circuit Board (PCB): Methods, Tools, and Best Practices

1 week ago | wevolver.com | Abiola Ayodele

PCB testing verifies the structural integrity and performance of a circuit board. This article explores key insights from design for testability (DFT) to manual and automated tests such as AOI, ICT, and X-ray. IntroductionWhen you assemble a new printed circuit board (PCB), the real test begins when you power it up—an event engineers jokingly call it “smoke test.” If something’s gone wrong, you might literally see smoke, indicating a serious design or manufacturing flaw.
OEM vs ODM Manufacturing: A Comprehensive Technical Guide for Engineers

1 week ago | wevolver.com | Abiola Ayodele

IntroductionIn today’s complex global electronics market, a company’s approach to manufacturing is a cornerstone of its competitive success. The challenges of modern product development—from design capabilities and supply chain logistics to quality control and time-to-market pressures—make outsourcing production a necessity for most organizations. Yet simply having an innovative product idea is insufficient; execution determines success.
Multilayer PCBs and the Cutting-Edge of Circuit Board Repair

1 week ago | wevolver.com | Tess Boissonneault

Multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs) represent a growing proportion of PCBs made today, with the growth driven in large part by the increased demand for miniaturized electronics. It makes perfect sense: after all, smaller electronic devices necessitate the compaction of circuits without decreasing functionality. In this article, we’ll be looking more specifically at testing and repair techniques for multilayer PCBs and the challenges that this type of circuit brings up.
On the road to more sustainable printed electronics

1 week ago | wevolver.com | Tess Boissonneault

As electronic devices continue to evolve and proliferate, at once making our day-to-day lives easier and enhancing capabilities on an industrial level, the question of environmental impact becomes increasingly urgent. That’s because just as electronic devices and products become more ubiquitous, so too does electronic waste.
Advanced Adhesives for Electric Motor Assembly: Driving Performance and Reliability

1 week ago | wevolver.com | Samir Jaber

Traditional mechanical fasteners have long been the default in motor assembly. But as electric motors (e-motors) evolve across mobility, consumer goods, and industrial automation, these fasteners are becoming a limiting factor. Today’s motors must be stronger, lighter, and more compact, pushing engineers to rethink how they are built. Advanced adhesives are enabling that shift.
Bringing Cognitive Intelligence to the Edge: A Conversation with Synaptics' John Weil

1 week ago | wevolver.com | Samir Jaber

Edge AI has long promised smarter, faster, and more private device intelligence. But as AI moves beyond the data center, it faces a fundamental challenge in complexity in its implementation closer to the end user. Between fragmented hardware, evolving models, and growing performance expectations, developers are often stuck navigating an overcrowded, under supported and often not interoperable ecosystem. That’s where Synaptics comes in.
How laser sintering can transform printed electronics production

2 weeks ago | wevolver.com | Tess Boissonneault

In the electronics industry, printing technologies have become increasingly ubiquitous in recent years, and for good reason. Printing processes like screen printing and inkjet use deposition techniques to selectively deposit conductive materials onto a substrate, unlike more traditional electronics production methods like etching and lithography, which are subtractive by nature and are highly complex.
How to solve a bottleneck for CO2 capture and conversion

2 weeks ago | wevolver.com | David Chandler

Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere efficiently is often seen as a crucial need for combatting climate change, but systems for removing carbon dioxide suffer from a tradeoff. Chemical compounds that efficiently remove CO₂ from the air do not easily release it once captured, and compounds that release CO₂ efficiently are not very efficient at capturing it. Optimizing one part of the cycle tends to make the other part worse.
Eldercare robot helps people sit and stand, and catches them if they fall

The United States population is older than it has ever been. Today, the country’s median age is 38.9, which is nearly a decade older than it was in 1980. And the number of adults older than 65 is expected to balloon from 58 million to 82 million by 2050. The challenge of caring for the elderly, amid shortages in care workers, rising health care costs, and evolving family structures, is an increasingly urgent societal issue.
