BluePrint-PCB “knows” it is creating a PCB document and imports the entire PCB CAD database once to automatically create and link unlimited PCB views and details, while at the same time maintaining the design intelligence and overcoming the constraints imposed by both PCB and mechanical CAD alternatives. The result is an electronic document which better articulates the instructions for successful PCB manufacturing.

​

•    Automatically create PCB views, details, and tables from PCB CAD data
•    Remove constraints of PCB CAD but retain design intelligence
•    Use PCB intelligence to create common drawing elements
•    Create live and interactive documentation with hyperlinks and multi-media
•    Store all information associated with the PCB assembly in one electronic “release package”
•    Support instantaneous engineering changes (ECOs)
•    Allow viewing of documents without the application – web, PDF, or viewer

​

The Benefits:​

With BluePrint, PCB engineering groups can expect to reduce the documentation process to a fraction of the time it normally takes – even more when engineering change orders (ECOs) are required. With ECOs, since all views, details, and charts of the PCB remain linked to the original PCB CAD data, they are instantaneously refreshed in BluePrint whenever the original CAD data is changed. This technology received a US Patent.

​

•    Lowers documentation cost and time, and increases detail accuracy
•    Shortens PCB design cycles
•    Reduces documentation time by as much as 60-80%
•    Improves manufacturing instructions
•    Simplifies manufacturing inspection
