Description

BluePrint-PCB® seamlessly integrates with your PCB CAD system and/or CAM350® to facilitate the rapid generation of detailed electronic drawings essential for the processes of PCB fabrication, assembly, and inspection. This innovative tool recognizes its task of producing a PCB document and efficiently imports the complete PCB CAD database in a single action, enabling the automatic creation and linking of countless PCB views and details while preserving design intelligence and surpassing limitations typically encountered with both PCB and mechanical CAD systems. Consequently, the result is an electronic document that more effectively communicates the necessary instructions for successful PCB manufacturing. Users can automatically generate PCB views, details, and tables directly from PCB CAD data, eliminating the restrictions of traditional PCB CAD while maintaining the integrity of the design. Furthermore, it leverages PCB intelligence to produce common drawing elements and allows the creation of dynamic and engaging documentation that includes hyperlinks and multimedia content. Additionally, all relevant information regarding the PCB assembly is consolidated into a single electronic “release package,” enhancing organization and accessibility. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines the PCB manufacturing workflow but also fosters improved collaboration among teams.

Description

SOLIDWORKS PCB streamlines the process of designing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) efficiently while fostering exceptional collaboration between electrical engineers and 3D mechanical design teams. This integration provides a significant benefit in scenarios where close ECAD-MCAD cooperation is vital for the successful development of electronic products. Users can define rigid-flex areas, layers, and stack thicknesses, facilitating the design of single board rigid-flex PCBs. Additionally, the regions of the rigid-flex layer stack can be specified with bend lines and angles, which can then be validated through 3D folding and component clearance checks to ensure the accuracy of the layout. Project management, design files, and documentation are seamlessly handled with the SOLIDWORKS PCB-PDM Connector, which enhances the PDM-based design and data management workflow. This system securely stores and organizes design data for quick access, alleviates worries related to version control and potential data loss, and allows for collaborative work on design data from various locations. The unmatched integration and collaboration between ECAD and MCAD offered by SOLIDWORKS ensures that all design data is unified, promoting efficiency and innovation in the product development process. This powerful synergy ultimately leads to improved product quality and faster time-to-market.
