PCB DRC/Analysis

Exhaustive list of design rule checks for all boards to avoid an error that can possibly cause board scrap.
All features are thoroughly checked for violations before the board is panelized.
Some of the checks are:
A mismatch between Fabrication Drawing and Gerber.
The separation between segments.
Minimum track width.
Open trace/Hanging traces.
Power to ground short detection.
Annular ring verification.
Distance between holes to the copper segment.
Expose Trace.

Editing/Single Image

Large number of DFM actions on various layers, such as Signal, Solder Mask, Silk Screen layers to ensure productivity.
Analysis of Gerber data with Fab drawing
Board outline dimensions, Hole Size, Hole Count & Tolerances.

Scripting & Tooling Automation

Scripting -This enables the customer to acquire the necessary scripts they need for their production requirements in CAM tool system.

Hyper Tooling – This is a JAVA based program that can be developed to be used in to automate some routine tasks in tooling.

Tooling – This is accomplished through a pool of engineers who are able to process design data from data input, perform cleanup, carry out DRC/DFM and board edits, and perform any tasks up to the output.
