Description

BluePrint-PCB® seamlessly integrates with your PCB CAD system and/or CAM350® to facilitate the rapid generation of detailed electronic drawings essential for the processes of PCB fabrication, assembly, and inspection. This innovative tool recognizes its task of producing a PCB document and efficiently imports the complete PCB CAD database in a single action, enabling the automatic creation and linking of countless PCB views and details while preserving design intelligence and surpassing limitations typically encountered with both PCB and mechanical CAD systems. Consequently, the result is an electronic document that more effectively communicates the necessary instructions for successful PCB manufacturing. Users can automatically generate PCB views, details, and tables directly from PCB CAD data, eliminating the restrictions of traditional PCB CAD while maintaining the integrity of the design. Furthermore, it leverages PCB intelligence to produce common drawing elements and allows the creation of dynamic and engaging documentation that includes hyperlinks and multimedia content. Additionally, all relevant information regarding the PCB assembly is consolidated into a single electronic “release package,” enhancing organization and accessibility. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines the PCB manufacturing workflow but also fosters improved collaboration among teams.

Description

The use of 3D visualization and documentation in manufacturing data plays a crucial role in reducing defects and production delays. DFMStream® is an intuitive and comprehensive toolset that enables engineers and designers to analyze, verify, and optimize printed circuit board (PCB) designs for effective manufacturing outcomes. This tool evaluates design and manufacturing rules across PCB design databases, Gerber files, and NC data at any point during the PCB design phase. Furthermore, DFMStream enhances collaboration between engineers/designers and fabricators. Even if PCB designs pass the standard design rule checks within the PCB CAD system, they can still harbor significant issues that can impede a smooth transition to manufacturing and assembly. Often, these issues are uncovered just before production begins, as design data undergoes processing for PCB manufacturing or assembly. Such flaws frequently lead to expensive delays in bringing products to market, necessitating design revisions and reprocessing to resolve problems identified in the pre-production stage. By utilizing DFMStream, teams can proactively address potential design issues, ultimately streamlining the production process and improving time-to-market efficiency.
