DownStream Technologies’ new CAM350 XL offering is a unified suite of tools for complete PCB post-processing. It combines technologies from both the company’s CAM350 and BluePrint-PCB applications to create a solution to address the needs of PCB designers chartered with releasing a PCB design to manufacturing.
The CAM350 XL solution focuses on five key areas of PCB post-processing: design and Gerber verification for manufacturing; tooling aid output generation including Gerber, ODB++, solder and paste masks, and NC drill and mill; PCB documentation; release package creation and distribution; and ECO automation. Unlike most CAD/CAM solutions available today, it supports these functions for both the PCB- and panel-level, depending on the user’s requirements.
CAM350 XL offers multilevel verification, from simple netlist comparison ensuring that generated Gerber files match the original design data, to in-depth DFF analysis highlighting and correcting manufacturing problems while still in the design stage. This flexibility allows users to implement the best verification strategy based on design criteria and schedule constraints. The suite supports all major industry output standards required to translate a finished PCB design into useful and accurate Gerber, ODB++ and NC information. CAM350 XL also delivers state-of-the-art and patented PCB documentation technology. Using the same source data used to verify and extract manufacturing outputs, users can create complex fabrication, assembly, panel and other drawings to front-end manufacturing without the need to re-extract, convert or re-import data.
