In a time of 3D printers in many engineers' (and future engineers) shops, labs, or basements, we keep looking for ways to produce parts faster. You may be asking how far away are we from 3D printing connectors. When is Samtec going to replace all its automation with a bunch of shiny 3D printers? Can I get my parts faster if I make them myself? As a director of a regional makerspace, we deal with 3D printers every day and get questions from every direction of “what can I make with … [Read more...]

What can you do about it, how do you plan for it, and how do you pick the most rugged solution that still carries the data rate you are looking for? As a 20 year mechanical engineer with Samtec, my early years were focused on making sure our MHz speed connectors would pass lead free reflow temperatures and the newer … [Read more...]
