DFMStream tool suite verifies design and manufacturing rules on PCB design databases, Gerber and NC data any time during the PCB design cycle. Analyzes contents and complexity of a PCB design against PCB fabricator capabilities, reducing overall cost of printed circuit board fabrication. Generates reports containing all information required by a board vendor to estimate cost and delivery of fabricated PCB. Helps to verify design data for bare board fabrication, assembly, silkscreen, and solder and paste mask compliance for optimal manufacturability. Manufacturing rule files can also be set up and reused for specific vendor capabilities, greatly reducing set up time for DfM verification. Supports a number of functions to sorting of DfM errors to quickly isolate root problems.

Other highlights include:

  • “Streams” Driven Analysis
  • Hierarchical Analysis
  • Design Rule Compliance
  • Bare Board Analysis for Fabrication
  • Mask and Screen Analysis for Assembly
  • Design Delta Analysis
  • PCB Assembly Analysis
  • Error Charting
  • Design Analyzer
  • PCB CAD Cross Probing
  • Gerber and NC Editing and Optimization
  • Fast Assembly Panel Creation.
