A well-designed ground (GND) plane is critical to the performance, stability, and reliability of any PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly). Whether you’re designing a simple two-layer board or a complex multilayer system, the GND plane plays a central role in signal integrity, EMI control, and power distribution. In this article, we’ll explore how to design an effective ground plane in your PCBA and avoid common pitfalls. 📌 Why Is a GND Plane Important? The GND plane serves as a common return path for all currents in a PCBA. A solid, continuous ground plane offers: Low impedance return paths for signal…

Introduction Micah Chaban has spent over 15 years in manufacturing, witnessing firsthand how additive manufacturing has evolved from a niche technology to a legitimate production tool. As the Founder and VP of Sales and Marketing at RapidMade, he’s at the forefront of helping companies integrate high-performance EnvisionTEC resins 3d print into their manufacturing processes. We sat down with Micah to talk about how these materials compare to traditional thermoplastics, where engineers can use them, and what the future holds for 3D printing in industrial applications. Why are EnvisionTEC resins such a big deal for industrial manufacturing? Micah Chaban: If you…
