DFM: Design for seamless PCB manufacturing and reliable quality
When we talk about ?? DFM in electronics production, we often think of PCB assembly with electronic components or depanelling. That's right!
But design for manufacturability starts with PCB production. The apparent simplicity of a PCB belies the complexity of its manufacturing process.
? ? Factors influencing the manufacturability and quality of the PCB include, for example:
- Base material
- Layer structure
- Drill diameter
- Copper distribution
During the DFM check, the PCB manufacturer checks the layout data for manufacturability so that he can ensure the quality of the PCBs.
We have developed our PCB checker for this crucial test step. This tool checks the design for manufacturability and design rules (DRC).
Here we show you how to carry out the DFM test with the PCB checker:
