PCBflow Reviews

The Cadence Allegro X Design Platform is the best solution to navigate modern electronic complexity and support any PCB needs. It is a full-stack platform that provides a highly integrated and scalable environment for advanced system design. The Allegro X Design Platform allows your global teams to collaborate effectively and simultaneously to reduce project risk, lower production costs and guarantee design compliance. With Allegro X, electrical engineers and PCB designers can make data-driven decisions using integrated analysis workflows and constraints to reduce turnaround time, ensure product reliability and first-time right manufacturing success.

3D visualization and documentation help to minimize manufacturing defects and production delays. DFMStream®, a comprehensive yet simple-to-use tool suite, is designed to assist engineers and designers in analyzing, verifying, and optimizing a PCB design for manufacturing success. It can check design and manufacturing rules on PCB designs databases, Gerber, and NC data at any point during the PCB designing cycle. DFMStream encourages collaboration between engineer/designer/fabricator. Even if a PCB design passes the standard design rule verification in the PCBCAD system, it is possible for critical flaws to be overlooked that could slow down the transition to manufacturing or assembly. Often, flaws are discovered before production begins when the design data is being processed for manufacturing or assembly. These flaws can lead to costly delays in time to market. Designs are then updated and reprocessed in order to fix issues found in pre-production.
