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.

Description

ExpressPCB is thrilled to unveil a range of exciting upgrades to our ExpressPCB Plus software! Among these enhancements is the new Schematic Link and Netlist Validation feature, which ensures reliable design validation from schematic to layout before you begin manufacturing. This update enables users to seamlessly connect the schematic netlist from ExpressSCH to the PCB layout in ExpressPCB Plus. Additionally, we've introduced a "Net Connection" tool that allows users to easily highlight connected pads in a net, simplifying the board layout process. The software now offers comprehensive validation of the entire ExpressPCB Plus layout, ensuring it aligns with the ExpressSCH schematic netlist. Users will also benefit from detailed error reporting, identifying any missing or extra components, pins, connections, or other design elements. Errors can be highlighted, and users have the option to zoom in on specific locations for easier correction. This streamlined process allows for quick resolutions and validations in one convenient tool, and users can export error reports in Microsoft Excel format for further analysis. These enhancements aim to boost design accuracy and efficiency, making the entire process smoother for users.
