Webinar Overview:
New product releases must be timely to maximize market opportunity. Defects detected late in the PCB design process can result in delays as the design is revised and reprocessed. Design for Manufacture (DFM) analysis can identify fabrication issues before the design is delivered to manufacturing, and eliminate potential delays. A comprehensive DFM analysis examines the design from the perspective of the fabrication and assembly process. For example, are there potential areas of exposed traces or component pads that may result in solder bridging? Does the IPC-D-356 netlist generated from the CAD tool correlate to Gerber files generated from the CAD tool? Numerous variables in a typical PCB design can impact PCB fabrication, bare board testing, and component assembly
DownStream Technologies’ DFMStream is a suite of DFM analysis tools designed to eliminate PCB assembly and fabrication delays. It performs verification of design and manufacturing rules to ensure a design complies with its intent and is compliant with the fabricator’s capabilities. DFM analysis configurations can be saved and applied to another design. DFMStream can be configured and implemented into any PCB design flow.
Who Should Attend this Webinar:
- PCB Designers
- Engineering and CAD Managers
- Project Engineers and Managers
Discussion will include:
Identifying DFM issues before you start the fabrication process.
Common myths of the PCB design process, such as, “The fabricator never modifies my Gerber files” and, “If I can design it, they can build it.”
Presented by:
Mark Gallant, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, DownStream Technologies
Mark has been involved in PCB design and fabrication for over thirty years, first as a PCB designer using vellum and tape and later using early EDA tools, including Racal-Redac Maxi and Visula. When PADS-PCB was introduced, Mark was one of its first one hundred users. Soon after, Mark joined the ranks of PADS Software as a Technical Support Engineer. During Mark’s twenty years with PADS and ultimately Mentor Graphics, he served in several key roles. His predominant role was Product Marketing and Product Definition for the PADS schematic, PCB design and autorouting products. In May of this year, Mark joined DownStream Technologies as Senior Product Marketing Manager. Currently, Mark is responsible for Product Marketing and Product Definition for all of DownStream’s products.
