17.4 Design and Layout Check

Your Layout: Reliable and Suitable for Series Production

Errors that occur at the start of product development tend to be the most expensive to remedy. And this is why we leave nothing to chance, even at the early, pre-production stages. As part of our standard design rule checks, our experienced PCB experts use IPC design parameters and the KSG guidelines to check the plausibility of your layout data and whether your layout can be reliably produced. This allows us to detect any potential error sources at an early stage before the start of production. Our support is always focused on ensuring suitability for series production – even before the very first layout draft. As a potential sparring partner in your development process, we provide you with comprehensive advice in relation to the various manufacturing methods as well as optimization opportunities for your design. You can therefore rest assured that you’ll end up with a long-lasting PCB – right from the very first unit.

Our Design and Layout Services

  • Advice on base materials, manufacturing methods, design rules, and conductive pattern tolerances
  • Design and routing recommendations for highly integrated components
  • Layer stackup suggestions according to technical and electrical requirements, such as PCB thickness, installation conditions, thermal behavior, and impedance values
  • Design of cost-optimized sub-panels – matched to the KSG production format and your specifications
  • Checking of the layout and design data for errors (design rule check) and suitability for series production
  • Corrections to the layout and design following consultation and approval
  • Also for samples and small series: complete preparation of the production data
  • CAM data processing at the respective production site – without any external processing
  • Provision of production data for cross-checking and approval
  • Generation of data sets for producing the solder paste stencil
