Key Features

Built-in Manufacturer-specific Capabilities

PCBflow provides a secure, cloud-based, collaborative environment with no IT investment. The DFM tool guides designers through the manufacturability design errors, minimizing back-and-forth with manufacturing partners and making it simple to validate and optimize designs.

DFM Analysis

Smart, Online Simple and Self-explanatory DFM Report

Concise reports guide the user through error fixing and include filtering, statistics, summary tables, and error grouping. The tool is powered by Valor NPI engine, an industry standard for DFM analysis, and does not require any installation or setup.
