The Paperless Factory
IPC-2581 can be augmented with stackup impedances, tolerances, designer/fabrication notes, dimensioning, v-scores, milling, panel/sub-panels, solder stencils, and so forth. A look at how IPC-2581 is used in assembly today and a few additional advantages of using the format to ensure a complete paperless solution
