PCB New Product Introduction (NPI)
PCB Design for Manufacturing Software
Do you expect two to three respins during a PCB design? Respins should be the exception rather than the rule! Valor NPI identifies manufacturing issues using DFM concurrent with your design. Checks can even be run by designers, letting them fix problem areas immediately.

Design for Manufacturing Validation
Valor NPI’s MRA enables you to identify potential DFM manufacturing issues before going into production. It not only identifies where your PCB design exceeds your supplier’s manufacturing capabilities, it also shows where low yield or field failures may occur. With this visibility, designers can optimize their designs for manufacturing during the initial stage, accelerating their ramp-to-volume cycle.
CAM Compare
The CAM Compare tool provides in-depth analysis of changes between two CAM files. This comparison can occur between identical data formats, or differing data formats. CAM Compare supports designs stored in ODB++, IPC2581, Gerber 274X, IPC-D-356A, Excellon drill data or other EDA flow data.
CAM Compare has three primary uses:
1. Validation of ODB++ data
When migrating from sending legacy CAM data to intelligent data for manufacturing, customers can use CAM Compare to compare the ODB++ output to their legacy output to assure there are no differences.
2. Design revision comparison
When comparing one design revision to another, a digital review can be made with CAM Compare identifying what has changed between the two versions.
3. Identify fabrication CAM edits
When reviewing the manufacturing data used by the fabricator, CAM Compare enables a design organization to determine what changes have been made while compensating for etch factors and drill sizing
