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
GerbView is a specialized software application that focuses on the visualization, printing, and conversion of PCB design files, especially in the Gerber and ODB++ formats. This application provides an extensive array of features that enable users to analyze, visualize, and manipulate PCB files, thus serving as an essential resource for both PCB designers and manufacturers alike.
Users can access and display a variety of file types, including Gerber (RS-274D and RS-274X), ODB++, Excellon, PDF, DXF, and HPGL/2 formats. It not only supports both RS-274D and RS-274X Gerber formats but also facilitates the conversion of older Gerber files into the more modern RS-274X extended format.
Moreover, GerbView features a comparison tool that highlights the discrepancies between different design revisions, providing essential support for version control and quality assurance in the design process. Its user-friendly interface further enhances its appeal, making it accessible for users of varying experience levels in PCB design.
