Connect the Dots: Total Value Manufacturing Solutions
In a recent survey, we asked the following question: What steps do you take to make the job easier for your fabrication and assembly providers? Here are a few of the answers, edited slightly for clarity.
- Try not to overly constrain the CM and board shop.
- Provide both Gerbers and ODB++ or IPC-2581 files.
- Keep tracks and gaps no smaller than they need to be.
- Check with the manufacturer about any special requirements.
- Put a test point on every node (if possible).
