MARLBOROUGH, MA –
DownStream Technologies LLC announced a new configuration and price structure for their PCB documentation product, BluePrint for PCBs. Named BluePrint Foundations, it is built from the same core technology as BluePrint-PCB, allowing users to quickly create comprehensive, electronic PCB fabrication and assembly instructions. It is more closely aligned in price to appeal to PCB designers who currently use PADS, OrCAD and CADStar PCB layout products.
“The market demand for BluePrint has so far surpassed our wildest expectations,” said Rick Almeida, a founder of DownStream Technologies. “BluePrint Foundations will allow us to further expand the market by providing a solution to PCB layout designers who may be on a more restricted budget but still require comprehensive documentation to build their products.”
BluePrint Foundations is 100% compatible with BluePrint-PCB and allows users to mix and match configurations to meet their needs. Reported features include unlimited PCB views, hyperlinking, automatic ECO updates, full word processing with spell check, exotic file importation and Web publisher.
