WEBINAR | ECAD: How to Reduce Documentation Time in PCB Design

BluePrint-PCB (a tool by DownStream) can significantly reduce documentation time for PCB engineering teams. It automates the traditionally manual process, streamlines workflows, and effortlessly manages ECOs. Since all PCB views, details, and charts remain linked to the original CAD data, any changes are instantly updated within BluePrint-PCB.

Here’s the benefits of using BluePrint-PCB:

• Lowers documentation cost and increases detail accuracy
• Reduces documentation time by as much as 60-80%
• Shortens PCB design cycles
• Improves manufacturing instructions with electronic live linked data and 3D modeling
• Simplifies manufacturing inspection

It generates a comprehensive PCB document by importing the entire CAD database. It automatically creates and links unlimited PCB views and details while preserving design intelligence. The resulting electronic document conveys all manufacturing details and instructions. BluePrint also supports 3D modeling for better visualization and communication and expanded compatibility for Flex and Rigid-Flex layer types.

BluePrint-PCB’s functionality consists of:

• Automatically create PCB views, details, and tables from the CAD data
• Add 3D models to PCB drawings for more effective communication
• Refresh data to support ECOs instantly
• Share data between all DownStream products seamlessly
• Support for Rigid-Flex Designs & Embedded Components
• Rigid-Flex Stackup support
