In embodiments, the base composition of the graphite or graphite-composite may be re-oriented such that the graphite or graphite-composite has an increased thermal conductivity in the Z-axis (as depicted in FIG. 4). This is advantageous as the direction of the heat transfer may be controlled to increase a rate of cooling of each power device assembly 114. In embodiments, the graphite or graphite-composite may also be re-oriented such that the graphite or graphite-composite has an increased thermal conductivity in the Z-axis and a second axis (e.g., X-axis, or Y-axis as depicted in FIG. 4). In embodiments, the graphite or graphite-composite may be re-oriented such that the graphite or graphite-composite has an increased thermal conductivity in the X-axis and/or the Y-axis. The graphite or graphite-composite may be re-oriented through any known means (e.g., carbonization process, magnetism process).

Conventional systems may have misalignment due to high assembly tolerances. The high assembly tolerances may be a result of a fabrication inaccuracy of the individual components of these conventional systems. Accordingly, these conventional systems may be prone to PCB vias being misaligned to the electrical pads of the power electronic devices, which may prevent PCBs to be 3D printed upon these conventional systems.
