In an SMTA white paper recently posted by Circuitnet, Orlando, FL-based nScrypt, its research arm Sciperio, and researchers at the University of South Florida described a roadmap for using 3D printing to move from Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), which are standard in electronics packaging designs today, to Printed Circuit Structures (PCSs). The authors describe how PCSs solve the problem of incorporating an increasing number of active and passive electronic components and antennas into increas...
