Mentor On-Demand Webinar: Perfecting Your PCB with DFM Analysis

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Historically, design-for-manufacturability (DFM) checks have taken place during the fabrication process and have typically been performed by PCB manufacturing engineers or fab houses utilizing DFM-specific analysis software. The typical PCB designer would only run their own built-in pre-fabrication DRC and integrity checks prior to sending out for manufacturing and wait to hear from the fabricator if issues were encountered.

Today, DFM analysis allows designers to identify and correct potential fabrication and assembly issues in the design database before they hit the production floor. Without DFM, you leave changes in the manufacturer’s hands, where the focus is on increasing yield, not on the electrical performance of the final product.

In this on-demand webinar, presenters Shivani Joshi and John McMillan with Mentor, a Siemens business, will explain how PADS Professional can empower you to eliminate costly manufacturing delays by minimizing supplier call-backs and design re-spins.
