CGen 2010 standalone automatic generator for impedance control and lossy line PCB test coupons is built on Speedstack coupon generator platform. Can directly import coupon data from manually created or scripted XML files or industry-standard layer stackup tools and impedence control and lossy-line field solvers. Is said to create accurate coupons in minutes. Features real-time coupon editing; error-flagging and automatic change tracking; adds, removes and replaces an unlimited number of layers to trial different criteria before optimum build is chosen. Controls copper pours and fills and dynamically adjusts copper thieving. Automatically engineers interconnects for test probes chosen from a range of industry-standard footprints.

CAMMaster is for complex CAM and PCB manufacturing. CAMMaster Designer is a CAD companion tool that simplifies difficult tasks such as layer compare and netlist compare. Netlist extraction and DRC functions reportedly set the industry standard. Can merge data by board layer, reducing the information to a minimal set of polygons. These polygons can be converted to F type outlines to edit, and then back to polygons. Can merge multiple designs and panelize jobs.
