From Aimtron University
Aimtron University
This space is dedicated to students, designers,
and anyone who wants to learn about the manufacturing of printed circuit boards.
Our goal is to help you understand how to reduce cost while increasing reliability of your designs.
Consider becoming a graduate of Aimtron University.
Our graduates enjoy faster cycle times, less cost, and better long term reliability on all their designs. Plus this nifty black hat.

Where to begin?
Passion.
Take a step back, and think about what the manufacturing process is all about as a whole. We, the designers, engineers, and manufacturers, convert intellectual property, pure zeros and ones, into a physical object, out there in the real world, making a difference in people's lives.
Wow, how cool is that?
