Inspecting, preparing and validating the PCB design prior to release to manufacturing will result in a significant increase in efficiency, less risk of design re-spin, and, most importantly, successful electronic products, built faster, at less cost.ģD visualization and documentation of manufacturing data helps to minimize manufacturing defects and delays in production. Problems arising during PCB fabrication can drastically impact product schedules, result in costly design re-spins, and require modifications to the design that might compromise the design's integrity and intent.
Today's complex PCB designs require comprehensive verification before they are transferred to the PCB fabricator to ensure a successful and timely manufacture of bare boards. Our tools help to create and distribute all the deliverables required for a complete PCB manufacturing and assembly release package.ĬAM350is the industry de facto standard for verification, optimization and output generation to efficiently and effectively drive PCB fabrication and part of the truly integrated manufacturing data preparation solution from DownStream Technologies.

Import/Export of ODB++ and IPC-2581 embedded parts Import/Export of ODB++ and IPC2581 Rigid-Flex design data
In addition, many customers reported defects and enhancements have been resolved. A number of templates have been added and modified to appropriately document Rigid-Flex designs. They include the ability to import Rigid Flex designs and to visualize and manage those new features in 2D and 3D.
Additional updates include expanded drill and via in pad checking in DFM Analysis.īluePrint 6.5 is an update to BluePrint 6.1 to include support for Rigid-Flex designs. Several areas of the product were updated to support new layer types, new area types and multiple stackups common in these advanced design technologies. The major focus of this release is support of Rigid-Flex and Embedded part design data via import from ODB++ and IPC-2581 file formats. In this version addresses some minor stability and performance improvements.ĬAM350/DFMStream 14.5 is a major update to CAM350 14.1.
The software developer DownStream Technologies, LLC announced the launch new build 1771 of CAM350/DFMStream 14.5 & BluePrint-PCB 6.5.
