CAM350-840, Advanced Fabrication Analysis Bundle
A complete package containing everything you need for PCB production preparation. In addition to the features of the CAM350-620, provides editors for Test Fixturing Editors (Flying Probe, Bed of Nails), a module for recreating a smart design from Gerber files Reverse Engineering and an Export DirectCAD interface to one of your choice of CAD software.
Modules:
DirectCAD Interface (Out Only) – export to user CAD
Reverse Engineering – recreating a smart project from Gerber files and drilling
Flying Probe Editor – creation of a program for electrical control with flying probes
Bed of Nails Editor – creation of an electrical test adapter project
Additional modules (options) are available:
- ODB++ Export / Import: modules for working with ODB++ files.
- Panel Editor: module for automating the creation of multi-panels, has more features than the standard Fast Array Module, for example, adding test coupons, technological frames and inscriptions.
- Bed of Nails Editor: Data generation module for control equipment of finished PCBs by the adapter method with fixture (bed of nails).
- Flying Probe Editor: data generation for electrical testing of printed circuit boards with the “flying probe” technology
- Camtek AOI: creating documentation for automated optical inspection
- Reverse Ingineering: generate a topology suitable for basic CAD from gerber or blueprints.
- Direct CAD Interface (Out only): export data to CAD.
- Basic NC Editor: edit drill files and create programs for contour milling and cutouts.
- Advance NC Editor: Module for advanced data creation for drilling. Setting tool feed tables, milling lettering, notches, slots and slats.
- Design Analyzer: Module for automated verification of design rule compliance and manufacturing capability.
- Macro Debugger: module for macros, sets of automated workflows. It allows you to perform actions not intended by the program, such as importing from specific formats, or automating a typical sequence of actions, generating output documentation. Requires knowledge of Quick Basic for programming.
- 3D PDF Export: 3D model of printed circuit board output in an easy to view Adobe 3D PDF format.
- DirectCAD Interface (In Only): module for importing projects from other CAD (in ASCII format) directly into CAM350. For example: P-CAD 2000, P-CAD EDA, ACCEL EDA, TangoPRO, GenCAD.
