The operating principle is based on the Finite Difference Time Domain method (FDTD), that actually is the industrial standard for the design of RF and microwave components and antennas. The EMPIRE XPU software package is one of the leading solutions for modeling three-dimensional electromagnetic fields.

Availability of tools for reverse development: having Gerber files, it is possible to recreate the original topology and export it to standard CAD systems.

Comparison of individual Gerber layers or comparison of two separate PCB designs. Comparison of the topology with IPC-D-356 netlist format.

Check for errors: absence of metallization in holes, minimum gaps, width of tracks or size of pads.Ĭalculating the copper layers fillability.

Editing positive and negative apertures.

This helps to localize errors in the topology and fix them faster.

“Hot” communication with CAD from Cadence or Mentor Graphic: when selecting an element in them, we get its highlight in CAM350.Editing and adding any information on the board: pads, tracks, polygons, text, positioning signs, vias.Topology optimization: converting polygons and lines into raster objects, removing hole pads from unconnected layers, removing overlapping objects (pads under copper), editing / adding mask openings or windows in a solder mask layer, removing silk-screen printing overlapping pads.Combining printed circuit boards into panels, putting markings and fiducials.

Transferring information from Gerber files to NC files and vice versa. Work with drilling NC-files: adding holes, slots, milling for enabling the separation of boards from a panel.Ĭreating custom drilling files for specific operations.Support of files of industrial standards ODB ++, IPC-2581, Gerber, DXF, Excellon, etc.Ability to import files from PCB design CAD software: Cadence Allegro / OrCAD, Mentor Graphic PADS / Expedition, Altium Designer, etc.
