Lowering your PCB Costs through Panelization

Overview

One area that can save significant cost that many designers and managers don’t consider is designing your own PCB panels. You can learn from an expert how to get more efficient use out of the available PCB panel area as well as apply advanced DFM checking to ensure your panels will be manufacturable, and help accelerate your time to market.

What You Will Learn

• How to optimize both fabrication and assembly panels
• How to use Valor NPI panel solution to incorporate assembly and fabrication suppliers’ panel guidelines, removing the risk of misinterpretation and the redundancies
• How panel cost can be determined early in the PCB design process
• Techniques to arrange panels to minimize total material usage
