Cibel Chooses Frontline PCB Solutions' InCAM as Its Leading CAM Solution
April 11, 2017 | OrbotechEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Orbotech has announced that Cibel has chosen InCAM as its preproduction CAM solution to replace its Genesis2000 CAM operation. Developed by Frontline PCB Solutions, InCAM is a comprehensive CAM system that performs fast, high-precision CAM tooling, via powerful design-for-manufacturing tools.
“Since migrating from Genesis 2000 to InCAM, we’ve noticed improved analysis speeds due to InCAM’s multi-processing capabilities. We can begin reviewing analysis results for the first layer while other layer analyses run in the background, dramatically shortening cycle time,” said Christophe JOYAU, Cibel General Director. “Integration is smoother in InCAM, not only with Frontline’s engineering products (InPlan and InStack) but with the entire Windows environment, and there is seamless backwards compatibility with Genesis 2000. In addition, all-round improved functionality – pad stacks, profile with holes etc.– enables significantly faster job processing.”
“We are very pleased with Cibel’s decision to migrate to InCAM®,” said Claudio Bellistri, CAM and Engineering Business Manager, Orbotech Europe. “InCAM’s dedicated DFM and analysis tools, Check & Fix, and system-wide automation enable operators to achieve unparalleled quality and accuracy, helping manufacturers meet production challenges in a collaborative and secure work environment. These benefits have driven a growing trend of migration from Genesis to InCAM.”
About InCAM
InCAM® is a comprehensive, innovative CAM system for HDI and IC Packaging PCB manufacturers that combines editing and analysis with automatic design-for-manufacture optimization to perform high-precision CAM tooling, with maximum efficiency and speed - helping manufacturers achieve lasting profitability and a competitive edge. InCAM® supports yield growth by enabling operators to multi-task and run advanced processes in the background, using the computer's multi-core CPU capabilities. Cycle time is dramatically shortened as colleagues team up on jobs in a data-secure, collaborative environment. InCAM® delivers improved data integrity and fault indication by allowing interactive post processing on selected DFM results. In addition, InCAM® operators can enjoy a streamlined user interface and remarkably easy-to-use tools. In addition, backwards compatibility with Genesis 2000, for both data and automation, drives productivity even further.

Breaking Down Barriers: The Connectivity of Machines in SMT Production Lines
05/14/2025 | Bill Cardoso, Creative ElectronAs the world increasingly moves toward erecting trade barriers, we find ourselves in a paradox. Across the globe, the rise in tariffs and protectionist policies is creating a more fragmented global economy, with nations seeking to insulate themselves from external economic pressures. However, within the confines of the SMT production line, the trend is moving in precisely the opposite direction—toward greater connectivity, integration, and collaboration. Rather than isolating one machine from another, SMT production lines are increasingly interconnected, with data being shared across various stages of the process to improve quality, efficiency, and defect detection.
Elementary, Mr. Watson: Design Data Packages—Circle of Concern or Circle of Influence?
05/14/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonI've often been asked, "Can you have a perfect PCB design?" At first blush, it seems like the answer should be yes. After all, if you follow all the rules, double-check your work, and use the right tools, it should be perfect. Right?
