Why is it that printed circuit board (PCB) design re-spins are expected rather than the exception? According to historical data, schedules and budgets typically include several re-spins. Valor NPI software, integrated into Xpedition software, has proven it can be used to reduce the number of respins by an average of 57 percent using design for manufacturability (DFM) technology that enables manufacturing issues to be identified and corrected early in the process, saving money and time.
Benefits of DFM analysis
Enables you to save time and money by finding and correcting issues early on
Provides seamless, concurrent DFM without leaving the Xpedition user environment
Reduces re-spins for the fastest, highest-quality NPI and ramp-to-volume
Mitigates project risk by helping you stay on schedule and budget
Allows you to rapidly design panels to optimize material use and reduce costs
Accelerates fabrication and assembly and reduces costs with intelligent hand-off of PCB design
