Simultaneous DFM integrated into Xpedition's design flow for new product introduction

PCB Design for manufacturing (DFM)

PCB Design for Manufacturing integrates Valor NPI solution into Xpedition with the goal of reducing the number of re-spins

It uses DFM (Design for Manufacturability) technology, which allows production problems to be identified and corrected as early as the design stage, ensuring time optimization, cost savings and improved quality of the finished product.
When PCB Design for manufacturing makes a difference
Why are re-spins still considered the norm rather than an exception?

Looking at historical data, it shows how re-spins are even included as a special item within the project schedule and budget. Today, thanks to Valor NPI, integrated into Xpedition, it is possible to reduce the number of re-spins on average by 57%, thanks to DFM (Design for Manufacturability) technology. A technology that allows production problems to be identified and corrected early in the process, providing significant savings in time and money.

Valor NPI incorporates internally the complex know-how with respect to manufacturing and assembly processes and makes this knowledge accessible to each designer, moving typical manufacturing knowledge to the design level. This has already enabled many companies to effectively overcome the re-spin problem and obtain consistently higher quality products. Valor NPI is part of the Xcelerator portfolio, Siemens Digital Industries Software's comprehensive and integrated portfolio of solutions and services.
The advantages of DFM integrated into Xpedition
  • An intelligent DFM approach for PCB manufacturing

    The electronics industry has evolved beyond manual DFM methods, and to compete in today's market, companies need software that addresses the entire new product introduction process. Read the white paper to learn more.
