Free eBook Guides Readers to Data Package Perfection
March 28, 2019 | The I-Connect007 TeamEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Hundreds of PCB designers have downloaded The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Producing the Perfect Data Package micro eBook. Join this growing community of smart designers by exploring this comprehensive guide on how to perfect the hand-off from designer to fabricator.
This book is part of I-Connect007’s ongoing series, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to…, which is specifically dedicated to educating PCB designers and serves as a valuable resource for readers seeking the most relevant information available. Written by Mark Thompson of Prototron Circuits, Producing the Perfect Data Package has everything you need to know to create a complete, accurate design data package.
In Prototron’s CAM department, Mark Thompson has seen it all. Many data packages he receives from PCB designers are either inaccurate, incomplete, or both, often putting the project on hold. Mark is passionate about educating his customers so that they can produce a perfect data package every time; now, he’s sharing this information with the PCB design community.
“Mark does an outstanding job detailing what needs to be included in the handoff between the board designer and fabricator,” said UltraCAD Design Founder Douglas Brooks, Ph.D. “Understanding and following his advice will lead to a smooth transition between these two functions. This book should be required reading for every designer.”
Kelly Dack, CID+, CIT, EPTAC, adds, “Mark Thompson is not afraid to ask for what he needs from a customer to start a job with the end in sight. In fact, he does the industry one better in this book by telling you what a PCB fabricator needs to get the complex job done right. Much appreciated!”

We hope you enjoy The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Producing the Perfect Data Package.
