Course Overview

This course will cover the process and procedure for using CAM350  to verify data prior to release to Fabrication.  Specific features include:

• Getting familiar with the new Graphical User Interface
• Output of data from various CAD systems - using the direct interface
• Gerber identification and import
• Streams Rule Checking
• Netlist Comparison
• Design Rule Checking
• Design for Fabrication
• Putting together the completed design package for Fabrication

Course Outline

Data Preparation

• Proper output of Gerber and NC files for fabrication
• RS-274d vs. RS-274x
• CAD system output hints

CAM350 CAM Editor:

• Input options
• DXF to Gerber and Gerber to DXF
• Comparing layers for differences
• Adding Teardrops
• Clearing Silkscreen from lands

Netlist Compare for the Designer:

• IPC-d-356 creation in the CAD system
• Using Streams RC for Netlist analysis
• Comparing an IPC-d-356 Netlist to a Gerber extracted Netlist in CAM350
• Verification of results in CAM350

DRC/DFM in CAM350:

• Using Streams RC for Design Analysis
• Proper setup of DRC to find potential Fabrication problems
• Setup and save a generic DRC to run against all jobs
• Parameters for running a successful DFF Analysis

The complete data package for Fabrication:

• What is in the complete data package, what not to send
• Format of Gerber files
• What to include on the fabrication print
• What to include in a “readme” file
