Core CAM350 Features and Functionality
CAM350 was designed to optimize and streamline the transition of engineering data into
physical PCBs. It is the price-performance leader in easy-to-install, learn, and use PCB Post Processing software solutions.
Import, Export, Modify, Optimize
CAM350 offers a wide range of import/export options,
including Direct-CAD and ODB++, in order to view, query, report and
measure the PCB design data. Once imported into CAM350 you have
options to optimize the design data using draw-to-custom, draw-to-flash,
draw-to-raster polygon conversion, netlist extraction, silkscreen
clipping, redundant pad and data removal, and teardropping.
Netlist Compare
Verifying that the CAD Netlist matches the one
extracted from the Gerber file is crucial to ensuring that the original
design intent is maintained. The Netlist Compare functionality in CAM350
minimizes the risk of translation errors by automatically validating the
Gerber files match the original CAD data.
Rule Checking
Design rules must be verified to ensure the original
design intent has been met. Just as crucial is defining and setting up
manufacturing rules and requirements, prior to packaging the design up
for fabrication. Rule Checking will perform spacing checks,
annular ring checks, spacing histogram, copper area calculations, layer
compare, net checks, and more.
Layer Compare
The Layer Compare functionality in CAM350 allows you
to graphically compare two layers for differences. You can compare
Rev A to Rev B of a particular design, or compare the original artwork
to the tooled artwork from the fabricator. This way you can find
problems introduced into the design by changes made by the fabricator.
Fast Array
The purpose of this tool is to quickly array a PCB or
group of PCBs on a panel to feed fabrication and assembly processes.
This is used to define PCB positions on a panel, with minimum setup and
definition, to optimize downstream processes.
Basic NC Editor
CAM350 comes with a NC Editor for NC Mill and Drill
capabilities. You have the ability to import, export, and create mills
and drills. Some editing tools are also included to change drill tool
definitions, add basic mill paths to assembly panels, and change break
tabs. NC Editing capabilities can be expanded by upgrading to the
Advanced NC Editor, available in higher configurations of CAM350.
Documentation Details and Release Package Information
PCB Documentation Functionality
BluePrint Foundations
BluePrint Foundations (found in every CAM350XL) is
base solution to get you started with creating electronic PCB documentation. BluePrint Foundations™
grants you the functionality necessary to start automating your
PCB documentation process to quickly create electronic PCB
fabrication and assembly instructions. The solution is
modular and can be incrementally upgraded at any time to meet
your evolving needs.
In Foundations you will receive Fabrication Tool Pallet, Assembly Tool Pallet, Insert Object,
and Web Publisher, plus your choice of one CAD Layout import
option (PADS, Allegro, BoardStation, Expedition, Zuken,
OrCAD, or Altium Designer).
Data Importation
BluePrint uses PCB CAD data to drive the documentation process. Components, pins, assembly mounting sides,
layers, vias, nets, assembly variants, part attributes, drill holes and symbols, are just a few of the data records that can
be imported into BluePrint to accurately create PCB document elements.
Digital content such as JPEGs, BMPs, GIF, etc
may be imported and used in the drawing. BluePrint also allows
the importation and use of audio and video files to be imported
and stored with the documentation package. The multi-media files
may be linked within the documentation drawings.
Data from other Windows® applications can be imported and used in the BluePrint documentation package.
BluePrint imports PDF, RS274X, DXF, XML, ODB++, JPEG, GIF, TIF, BMP. BluePrint’s clipboard function also allows cutting
and pasting with other applications including text and raster graphics.
All elements are added by dragging and dropping. All drawing elements: PCB Views, Charts, details, text boxes, note blocks, etc; are treated as elements
on the drawing and can be quickly added and modified. Each element may be scaled, formatted,
transformed (Rotated, mirrored, flipped, etc) independently of each other. There is no limit on the number
of elements that can be placed on a drawing.
Fabrication Tool Pallet
Consists of basic fabrication drawing elements and tools.
Support for PCB Views, include board outline, drill pattern,
drill chart - support for detail wizards include: layer
stack-up; finger chamfer, minimum trace width, V-score.
Assembly Tool Pallet
Consists of basic assembly drawing elements and
tools. Support for PCB views include: top/bottom side, parts
list manager, integral parts list and component coordinate
chart.
The Release Package Manager
The Release Package
found in CAM350XL allows you to work from one single electronic file
to store and distribute all the deliverables for manufacturing.
For example, this one file can contain your documentation files,
Gerber, NC Drill/Mill, Panel Arrays, ODB++, PDF, DXF, PCB CAD, MS Office and virtually any
file located on your computer and/or network. The Release Package Navigator also supports the importation of Gerber,
and Drill and Mill data from other CAM systems.
Using the Release Package you can store, distribute, and view all the necessary data
required to fabricate and assemble a PCB anywhere, anytime. Manufacturers simply
receive your release package, download the free
BluePrint viewer, and extract the necessary information they
need to build your boards.
Web Publisher
Allows for the creation of PCB release packages
in HTML format.
