Complications during fabrication lead to production delays, increased time and labor expense, resulting in decreased profitability. Inspecting, preparing and validating a PCB design prior to release to manufacturing will ease the transition of the design into production. PCB design preparation can eliminate delays by understanding the design complexities and fabrication requirements upfront. Having the design manufacturing-ready will result in increased efficiency, less risk of design re-spin, and most importantly, successful electronic products, built faster, at less cost.
