The Role of Precision in PCB Manufacturing and Box Build Solutions
October 7, 2024
A box build assembly, which organizes the components of a PCB, serves as a protective enclosure for the electronic components within a device, shielding the PCB from external contamination, which can come from dust, moisture, or damage to the device. Box builds are typically recommended to ensure an electronic device’s safety, functionality, and durability. Still, […]
Ensuring Accountability Through Traceability in Medical Device Manufacturing
September 23, 2024
Some industries are more highly regulated than others. The medical and healthcare device industry is one of the most highly regulated, as medical devices, particularly those implanted in patients or worn to monitor and treat serious health conditions, must be safe and effective and cause health improvements rather than putting them at additional risk. To […]
