All you need to do is fill out the form and send us your file.
Then we send back a report that contains the following:
A DFM report helps you to avoid design errors early in the design phase.
At the same time as the DFM report, we also send a price of what your printed circuit board will cost to produce.
Please drop or upload your file(s) into the form.
Reduce costs by getting your design right in the first go.
Avoid wasting precious time
Get your product right in the first go, order a sample and test your product
Our DFM report will show any design rule violations.
Every PCB should be designed in such a way that the overall cost and chances of potential DFM (design for manufacturability) issues can be minimized. It is a process of arranging the PCB layout to resolve problems that may arise during fabrication and assembly.
DFM checks each design before the files go for production. It will point out the potential defects in advance and ensure the boards are manufactured to the exact specifications.
Optimizing a board to avoid fabrication issues creates the requirement of design for fabrication (DFF). In the same way, circuit board assembly problems are targeted by adopting a design for assembly (DFA). DFM is the amalgamation of these two processes which is used for turnkey boards (both fabrication and assembly).
Our free DFM check includes following 40 design rules:
Signal checks | Plane checks | Solder Mask Checks | Silk Screen Checks | Drill Checks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Conductor width Spacing Annular ring Drill to cobber Hole registration Missing copper Features connection Missing holes Unconnected lines Rout to copper | Drill to copper Annular ring Spacing Conductor width Thermal air gap / spoke width Missing copper Rout to copper Drill registration Clearance smaller than hole | Solder mask clearance Coverage Rout to mask Spacing Missing solder mask clearance Exposed lines Partial clearances | Silk screen to mask spacing Silk screen to copper spacing Silk screen to hole spacing Line width Text height | Hole size Duplicate holes Hole spacing Touching holes Plane shorts Holes to rout Missing holes |
