Businesses searching for a verification, optimization and output generation PCB design solution
About CAM350
CAM350® is 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. 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. 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. 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.

BluePrint-PCB
BluePrint-PCB® works your PCB CAD system and/or CAM350® to help you quickly produce comprehensive electronic drawings to drive PCB fabrication, assembly and inspection processes. BluePrint-PCB “knows” it is creating a PCB document and imports the entire PCB CAD database once to automatically create and link unlimited PCB views and details, while at the same time maintaining the design intelligence and overcoming the constraints imposed by both PCB and mechanical CAD alternatives. The result is an electronic document which better articulates the instructions for successful PCB manufacturing. Automatically create PCB views, details, and tables from PCB CAD data. Remove constraints of PCB CAD but retain design intelligence. Use PCB intelligence to create common drawing elements. Create live and interactive documentation with hyperlinks and multi-media. Store all information associated with the PCB assembly in one electronic “release package”.

DFMStream
3D visualization and documentation of manufacturing data helps to minimize manufacturing defects and delays in production. DFMStream® is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use tool suite designed to help engineers and designers analyze, verify and optimize a PCB design for successful manufacturing. It checks design and manufacturing rules on PCB design databases, Gerber and NC data any time during the PCB design cycle. DFMStream also fosters collaboration between engineer/designer and fabricator. PCB designs that pass standard design rule verification within the PCB CAD system, may unknowingly contain critical flaws that derail an expedient transition to manufacturing and assembly. Commonly, the flaws are discovered prior to production when design data is being processed for PCB manufacturing or assembly. In many cases, these flaws result in costly time to market delays as designs are updated and reprocessed to address issues detected in pre-production.
