PCB Fabrication Design Rules
This editable document is designed to help PCB designers avoid many of the issues identified during the fabricator’s initial DFM review. It provides an extensive list of sample design rule parameters that designers can use to ensure that their designs are compatible with fabricator capabilities before the fabricator’s initial review. These globally representative design parameters are based on the most recent PCB design requirements.
Rigid PCB Fabrication Acceptance Specification
This editable document provides recommended qualification and performance specifications for all IPC-6012 requirements defined as AABUS (As Agreed Between User and Subscriber). Designers can use this document to inform fabricators of their company’s specific manufacturing, documentation, and quality requirements, inclusive of those that do not appear in IPC Standards.
