For fabrication and assembly documentation, the future is virtual and intelligent

Think about all the information that needs to be communicated to fabrication and assembly that is not part of the PCB definition. Isn’t it time to move to an intelligent electronic means to communicate what defines a PCB?

The ODB++ intelligent product model has been updated to include a data model that conveys fabrication and assembly documentation which is fully inclusive within the industry-standard ODB++ structure. The new data model provides a unique virtual documentation capability that seamlessly translates all data files, drawings, and documents from PCB design in electronic form.
