Only two working weeks left on our special equipment offer

Place an order for any of our machines: eC-stencil-mate , eC-reflow-mate , eC-pre-heater or eC-test-mate before 1 January 2015, and you will receive a 50€ (excl. taxes) discount key valid for any of our PCB services. On top of that, if you order both eC-stencil-mate and eC-reflow-mate before 1 January 2015 you will receive a free eC-equipment-starter-kit .

Christmas closure dates

Our offices and factories will close on 19 December and re-open on 5 January.

The factories will run back-end operations only on 22 December, so final shipments will be on 22 December. 5 January will be a full production day

These dates are already incorporated into our Price calculator menus.

PCB Visualizer upgrades

We have made PCB Visualizermore comfortable and safer to use.

Faster loading

Our customers have told us that loading complex PCB images can be a bit slow, especially when they only want to check the board parameters or prices. With the latest update, the board data and prices appear onscreen right away while the board image is loading. Image loading is faster, too.

Safer closing

There is nothing more annoying – or dangerous – than making changes and forgetting to save them. Now if you have made a change, PCB Visualizer will always ask if you want to save it before closing.

Christmas trees

The Eurocircuits/ElektorLED Christmas tree is back again. Create your own Christmas tree experience with 62 programmable blue LEDs. Download our animations or program your own. Upload your sequence. The best will be shown on our website.

2015

Our next Eurocircuits Technical Update will be sent out in early January, listing our planned developments for 2015. We will include links to voting buttons, so that users can tell us their priorities.

Technical blogs

Some recent highlights:

  • PCB PIXture . Make your PCB stand out from the crowd with a visual image printed in the soldermask.
  • Optimum PCB Design Flow. How to get the best out of our DRC and Design for Manufacturability tools.

We have an on-going program of technical papers, but if there are particular topics on which you would like us to produce a blog or white paper, please email your usual sales contact or euro@eurocircuits.com.
