OrCAD® DFM Checker
provides comprehensive, easy to use PCB manufacturing analysis technology that identifies specific design issues that may have an adverse effect on PCB fabrication.
Designs that pass standard design rule verification may unknowingly contain critical issues that could result in low manufacturing or assembly yields, or costly scrap.
DFM Checker enables you to correct potential manufacturing issues before the design is sent to the fabricator to avoid time-to-market delays.
