CAM350XL

Advanced PCB Fabrication Tools

Most CAM tools on the market today only allow for definition of a panel array. CAM350XL takes panels one step further by allowing users to drag and drop panel setups directly onto a document drawing sheet. Format the panel as necessary for documentation purposes, dimension, add note blocks, details, and callouts as well as create “live” panel drawings with the use of hyperlinks. CAM350XL panel functionality works both ways. Setup a panel and use it in documentation or use your documented panel setup in the CAM editor environment. Users can now front-end fabrication and assembly with either a single instance of the PCB or a full assembly panel setup with complete documentation, Gerber and/or ODB++, and NC outputs. 

Panel Editor

Automates the panelization process. Allows for creation of panel templates, intelligent coupons, pinning holes, fiducials, and title blocks. Populate panels in either an automatic stepping mode or use a spreadsheet for total control. Venting and thieving are fully automated as well, processing multiple layers in either a positive or negative polarity with user-defined patterns.

Advanced NC Editor

The Advanced NC Editor gives you powerful capabilities to manipulate NC drill and mill data in your designs. You can add drill hits and mill paths, as well as advanced canned NC routines such as Drill Text, Mill Circles, Operator Messages, Pilot Holes and more. Allows checking and optimization of NC data in preparation.

Sophisticated NC Editing provides powerful capabilities to manipulate and add NC drill hits and mill paths as well as drill text and pilot holes

Flying Probe

Flying Probe test for bare-board PCB's has never been easier! A powerful graphical editor and filtering options allow you to extract all the necessary data like nets, test-points, and adjacency information in a snap. The Flying Probe Interface presently writes the Probot, ATG, Integri-test, PROBOTECH, IPC-D-356, IPC-D356A file formats, as well as a special ACT Neutral format.

Bed-of-Nails Editor

The Bed-of-Nails Editor produces all files necessary to build a single- or double-sided clamshell test fixture. A graphical editor and filtering options give you complete interactive control of the test point information. Supported formats include TTI (Test Technologies International), Circuit-Line, IPC-D-356, IPC-D-356A, as well as generic plate drill files and netlists.

Accurately create solder and paste masks

CAM350XL allows users to parametrically generate both solder and paste masks based on the size of component pads used in the design. The advantage of this process is two fold, users automatically get the correct size mask based on best practice rules and can eliminate the guess work of sizing, storing, and generating masks in the core CAD system.
