BluePrint Overview

BluePrint is a dynamic new tool, developed in the style of Microsoft Office, that automates the PCB documentation process.  It quickly creates electronic drawings to drive PCB fabrication and assembly. BluePrint “knows” it is creating a PCB document and imports PCB CAD data to automatically create and intelligently link PCB Views, details, document notes, external documents, URLs and multi-media content. The result is an electronic document which better articulates the instructions for successful fabrication, assembly and inspection of printed circuit boards and which contains all the data necessary to build, view and archive the final product.

  • Creates PCB drawings for fabrication, assembly, and inspection
  • Uses MS Office methods to increase productivity and ease-of-use
  • Generates documents as they would appear to document control and manufacturing

BluePrint 2.0 will be released in December 2008.  If you purchase maintenance you will be automatically upgraded to the latest technology, plus you'll be able to download each new "rolling release". 

BluePrint Version 2.0 solves the problem of creating Panel drawings for assembly. A new module for BluePrint allows you to quickly step and repeat PCBs on a new or previously created panel form factor, and define necessary pinning and fiducial locations. You may also define breakout methods used to separate the PCB from the panel, including a variety of NC routing with breakouts, as well as V-scoring or any combination. Using BluePrint’s patented linking technology any changes made to the PCB database in follow on ECOs are automatically reflected in the panel document.

With BluePrint and CAM350 integrated in release 10 and 2, you save more time now than ever before. This integration allows existing panel designs in CAM350 to be imported into BluePrint for documentation creation or BluePrint panel drawings to be imported into CAM350 for NC extraction of Gerber, Drill, and Mill data if desired. The combination of BluePrint and CAM350 creates a unified solution for complete post processing of PCB layouts to drive manufacturing.
