DownStream Techonolgies - Solutions for Post Processing PCB Designs

DFMStream Webinar

Easy.  Intuitive.  Fast.  Affordable DFM software

May 21, Tuesday

At this free webinar you will learn about DFMStream, the new product from DownStream Technologies that provides powerful DFM capabilities in an easy-to- use tool suite. DFMStream bridges the gap between engineering and fabrication, helps save valuable time and reduces new product introduction bottlenecks.

Identifying DFM issues before you start the fabrication process

Preparing PCB design data for manufacturing is a critical step in the new product introduction process. Designs that work in a virtual PCB CAD system may unknowingly break critical manufacturing rules resulting in delayed delivery times as deviations and work-arounds are performed at the manufacturer.

Key Demonstrations

We will demonstrate the Design Analyzer, the new Paste Mask analysis, updated integration with BluePrint, new features available in Streams Rule Checking, and more.  After the technical session there will be an opportunity to ask questions during the open discussion.

DFMStream uses a “Stream” file to queue a series of DFM analysis checks and can combine netlist or layer comparison, design rule verification, fabrication and assembly verification with a single click of a button.

Design Analyzer analyzes the contents and complexity of a PCB design against the capabilities of the PCB fabricator. This functionality helps the user choose the correct manufacturer and reduces hidden costs and unexpected delays.

DFMStream Details

DFMStream is a comprehensive suite of DFM analysis and PCB processing tools targeted at engineers and PCB designers. The software offers a suite of deep, yet very easy-to-use analysis and processing tools for the infrequent user. DFMStream can be used at any phase of the PCB design cycle.

DFMStream offers full verification of design and manufacturing rules on PCB design databases, Gerber, and NC data to ensure the data complies with design intent. In addition, rule files may be saved and re-used for specific vendor capabilities, greatly reducing set up time for DFM verification.

DFMStream is packed with Advanced Features:

  • Streams Driven Analysis
  • Hierarchical Analysis
  • Design Rule Compliance
  • Bare Board Analysis for Fabrication
  • Mask and Screen Analysis for Assembly
  • PCB Assembly Analysis
  • Design Delta Analysis
  • Error Charting
  • Design Analyzer
  • PCB CAD Crossprobing
  • Gerber and NC Editing and Optimization
  • Fast Assembly Panel Creation
  • and more...
