Webinar: Fabrication Panels vs Assembly Panels – What’s the Difference?


Join us as industry experts from DownStream Technologies guide you through:

Assembly Panels
  • How a PCB designer or Contract manufacturer can easily design Assembly Panel Drawings
  • Produce these Drawings from the CAD database for greatest accuracy
  • View Component and Mill/Score/Mill tab location problems in 2d and 3d
  • Remove the need to step and repeat Gerber layers and bring into multiple programs to create an Assembly Panel
  • Easily work with unique board shapes and custom mill tabs
  • Optimize for the greatest utilization and therefore cost.
  • Create accurate PDFs of the resulting drawings
 
Fabrication Panels
  • Take an Assembly Panel and step it into the Fabrication Panel drawing
  • Create an optimized Fabrication Panel Drawing that will result in the best utilization
  • Work with features common to Fabrication drawings; Thieving, Pinning holes, Coupons, PE Targets
  • Create Borders, Keep Out areas, Standard Panel Sizes, etc.. and save for re-use
  • Produce files for Film or Direct imaging

This is a must-attend event for engineers, designers, and electronics manufacturing professionals looking to enhance their knowledge and refine their PCB development process.
