So you have a hot new hardware device that you’d like to develop and sell? Well, your first step is to create a working prototype. But where should you begin? There is no doubt that developing ...

In designing and prototyping electronic circuit boards there is no quick or simple way to produce results. Many hours of design and development need to be expended on prototype layouts along with ...

Makers, developers and hobbyists looking for a feature packed prototyping platform, maybe with giving a new piece of hardware called the Danyboard M0 a little more investigation. Danyboard M0 has been ...

MIT researchers have invented a way to integrate "breadboards" -- flat platforms widely used for electronics prototyping -- directly onto physical products. The aim is to provide a faster, easier way ...

SchmartBoard has announced that patent 7,511,228 has been granted for the company’s “EZ” technology for hand-soldering surface-mount technology (SMT) electronic components (see the figure). This ...

MIT has unveiled an exciting innovation in the realm of electronic prototyping with the introduction of FlexBoard, a flexible breadboard that revolutionizes the process of designing interactive ...

3D printers are great if you want to print small plastic widgets. But what if you want to print something a bit smarter, like an electronic circuit board? Australia and U.S.-based startup Cartesian Co ...

It would be nice if your 3D printer could spit out PC boards. There’s been lots of work done to make that happen, mostly centered on depositing conductive material, although we’ve been surprised no ...

Research headed by professor Nosang Myung at Bourns College of Engineering, University of California, Riverside (UCR), has resulted in the development of a prototype "electronic nose." The work brings ...

The benefits of hardware prototyping. Advantages of having custom-designed prototypes. Packaging considerations to make when prototyping. Benchtop tools available for in-lab prototype assembly. The ...
