Data Engineering & Tooling Services

Preparation of your data is a key element of our process to ensure the success of all subsequent NPI and production operations. Our experienced data engineering department play a crucial role in managing all the elements: From tooling the blank PCB substrate to creating controlled digital data sets and drawings essential for the production process. Altium PCB Design Tools allow you to seamlessly integrate with our production procedures, eliminating the risk of technical misunderstanding and delays.

Full Validation and Compliance

Blank PCB Engineering 'Front End Tooling'

Engineering Validation of PCB Layout: Identification of potential issues and supporting of best practices.
Ucamco Tool Utilisation: DFM, DRC, and netlist connectivity checks for issues such as solder mask concerns, via tenting, layer stack conflicts, and impedance calculations.
Direct Data Supply to PCB Fabricator: Verified digital data is supplied directly to the PCB fabricator, ensuring full compliance and risk management.
Considered Areas: Board transport, SMT fiducial placement marks, board panel routing, IPC, and UL compliance.
Compliance Assurance: All your blank PCBs will adhere to IPC standards and meet subsequent build process requirements.
