DFM Center

A PCB manufacturing design and verification CAM solution.

CR-8000 DFM Center (Panelization) DFM (design for manufacturability) Center is a comprehensive manufacturing preparation and output solution supporting panelization and common output formats.

DFM Center enables designers to handle the increasing complexity and diversity of today’s PCBs, while ensuring high final product quality, and accurate outputs for the manufacturing processes. With a robust set of features for data preparation and embedded verification to ensure manufacturing specifications are met, DFM Center addresses the challenges of the manufacturing process.

How does it work?

DFM Center allows you to prepare and verify all you manufacturing data by paneling up a single or combination of PCBs with online manufacturing DRCs. Additional fabrication and assembly checks can be dynamically applied based on any manufacturer on a to insure that you are designing to the specification provided by your manufacturing. This allows companies to design anywhere and manufacture anywhere.

With powerful post-processing functionality, designers can apply the necessary additions and modifications to the design, such as automatic copper flooding of the complete panel. Documentation can be completed with automatic drill table generation and various dimensioning options, with access to the component library to add any additional features to the design. Once documentation for fabrication, assembly, and testing is completed, designer can generate the necessary output data to submit for manufacturing.

Designer can also simulate the panel image for final verification and import data from manufacturing to compare and analyze differences between the original data.
