Step 1 - Design for Manufacture

摘要

Manual geometry creation methods, though still valid and reliable, are becoming too costly and time consuming in many organizations. The time it takes to create a new, high pin count package, verify and release it is taking too long and there are not enough PCB librarians to handle the workload. Many companies are turning to automated tools for geometry creation and with the availability of XML data sources these automated tools have become a viable addition to the PCB librarian's toolchest.
