How to place micro vias automatically
In this PCB design tutorial, we'll dive deep into HDI (High-Density Interconnect) and how to configure and use advanced via technologies like micro vias, blind vias, and buried vias to create compact, high-performance designs. Whether you're a beginner in electronics or an experienced electronics engineer, this video breaks down how to set up a PCB stackup and manage these vias in Flux.
You’ll learn how to place and manage smart vias to improve design efficiency, reducing complexity in routing and layer transitions. We'll also touch on how you might use templates which have been built to work with industry leading manufactures like PCBWay, SEEED Fusion, Vicorty PCB, etc.
If you're passionate about PCB design or simply want to learn how to master the tools of the trade, this explainer video was made for you!
