Zuken’s constraints-driven design process is complemented with parallel DFM techniques throughout design and manufacturing. Design rule checking (DRC) within the layout process, and also as a final check before manufacturing data creation, is a cost-effective way to improve the yield in board manufacturing. It also provides production preparation tools, e.g. for panelisation, offering the designer a choice of handling manufacturing data optimisation directly or delegating it to the board manufacturer.
Advanced Design Rule Checks DFM Center ADM is Zuken’s manufacturing DRC system, docking into the PCB layout system and providing manufacturability checking in parallel with the layout process. DFM Center ADM comes with a design rule manager and a large set of production-proven design rules for rigid board and flexible board checking. The check results are listed in a spread-sheet-like GUI which allows you to select each warning/error and automatically zoom into that location in the layout.
Production Preparation The production of accurate manufacturing data is critical in achieving rapid time-to-market and the highest possible product quality. Zuken's manufacturing tools are tightly integrated with manufacturing to ensure that boards are manufacturable first time. They support the latest manufacturing technologies, including build-up boards and embedded components.
Production DFM Center is Zuken’s manufacturing pre-processing and CAM solution. Bi-directional native layout data sharing with the PCB design system is provided and DFM Center manufacturing design rules can be exported into DFM Center ADM for DRC.
