Introducing BluePrint Foundations™
DownStream Technologies, LLC today announced a new configuration and price point
of their revolutionary PCB Documentation product BluePrint for PCBs™. Named BluePrint Foundations™,
it is built from the same core technology as BluePrint-PCB, allowing users to quickly create comprehensive,
electronic PCB fabrication and assembly instructions, but it is more closely aligned in price to appeal to
PCB Designers who currently use PADS®, OrCAD® and CADStar® PCB layout products.
The Solutions
“BluePrint Foundations will allow us to further expand into the market by providing a solution to PCB
layout designers on a more restricted budget but still require comprehensive PCB documentation
to build their products.,” said Rick Almeida, a founder of DownStream Technologies. “BluePrint Foundations
provides a customizable solution, as well as a path for adding additional functionality as our customer’s
technical and financial conditions evolve. The product is modular and can be incrementally upgraded at any
time” he added.
BluePrint Foundation Features Include:
- CAD system Import Integration of your Choice
- Fabrication Tool Pallet
- Assembly Tool Pallet
- Insert Object
- Web Publisher
- Hyper linking
- Automatic ECO updates
- Full word processing
- Exotic File Import
Revolutionizing PCB Documentation Creation
With the introduction of BluePrint for PCBs™ in 2005, and BluePrint Foundations™ today,
DownStream Technologies has revolutionized the way PCB Fabrication, Assembly, Panel and Rework documentation
is created. It also allows PCB Designers to create comprehensive and detailed documentation making manufacturing
mistakes less likely to occur. BluePrint Foundations is 100% compatible with BluePrint-PCB and allows users
to mix and match configurations to meet their needs.

BluePrint's Value
Product success requires solid execution. Documentation provides zero end product value,
but requires skilled PCB Designers to produce it. Poor documentation increases manufacturing complexity.
BluePrint helps to automate the PCB documentation creation process minimizing time spent on this task,
allowing you to move onto your next design sooner, while improving the quality, accuracy and usability of your
PCB documentation, avoiding manufacturing delays.
