The Analysis about CAD CAM Frequently Asked Questions

摘要

The fast development of PCB fabrication, especially the gradual maturation of HDI technology, has highly advanced the PCB CAM software. Along with the complication and automation of the PCB designs, thousands of CAD/CAM software packages have been produced and updated to many versions in a few years. But even as the software provides convenience to the designers, at the same time, the compatibility problems and the bugs of the software puzzle us. There are a lot of rejected products out and disputes between customers and PCB manufacturers appear constantly. This is especially true if the customers are using a variety of software without any restrictions on their designation. This causes many serious problems. The problems which concern CAD/CAM software are very complicated. Some of these are related to the software itself, some are with regard to the compatibility between all kinds of the software, and some happened because of wrong operation by the employee. All of these problems must be adjusted and solved immediately. The following are some examples that happened in our company.
