Valor NPI helps designers identify potential manufacturing issues in a design concurrent with their design process, even as early as library cell validation. This allows designers to identify and resolve potential issues at each incremental stage of the layout process.
Valor NPI finds potential DFM manufacturing issues before going into production. It not only identifies where your PCB design exceeds your suppliers’ manufacturing capabilities, it also shows the aspects of your design that may result in low yield or field failures. With this visibility, designers can optimize their designs for manufacturing during the initial stage, accelerating their ramp-to-volume cycle.
Implementing expert knowledge about PCB fabrication and assembly processes and making it accessible to anyone in the new product design flow.
Manufacturing Driven Design (MDD) provides full manufacturing awareness within the design process in a manner that allows designers to optimize a design for manufacturing with the first release. MDD uses the manufacturing process knowledge of how a PCB or packaging substrate is to be built and automatically applies the correct DFM profile for analysis.
