Automate the PCB documentation process, while increasing detail, streamlining distribution, and easing the entire process...
The Challenge
PCB documentation is a critical part of the design chain as it defines the specifications on how an electronic product is to be built. The more detailed the documentation the less likely manufacturing mistakes will occur. It also ensures that repeat builds of the same product are consistent and makes final inspection easier with less chance of unit rejection or shipment delay while waiting for assembly deviations to be approved.
The Solutions
BluePrint is a dynamic new solution, developed in the style of Microsoft Office that quickly creates electronic drawings to drive PCB fabrication and assembly. BluePrint “knows” it is creating a PCB document and imports PCB CAD data to automatically create and intelligently link PCB Views, details, document notes, external documents, URLs and multi-media content. The result is an electronic document which better articulates the instructions for successful fabrication, assembly and inspection of printed circuit boards and which contains all the data necessary to build, view and archive the final product.
* BluePrint-PCB creates PCB drawings for fabrication, assembly, and inspection
* BluePrint-PCB uses MS Office methods to increase productivity and ease-of-use
* BluePrint-PCB creates and displays documents as they would appear to document control and manufacturing
* BluePrint-PCB is the most revolutionary breakthrough in the PCB market since the inception of PCB CAD
This new, state-of-the-art solution creates PCB documentation quickly and easily and replaces the more error-prone, manual approach currently employed. Documentation created with BluePrint is more detailed, can be changed instantly and will lead to faster and more accurate new product introduction.
Why Good Documentation is Important
* To specify form, fit, and finish, as well as drive procurement and scheduling
* To build and inspect finished good to the original engineering specifications
* To archive intellectual property, retaining instructions to ensure consistent quality
* To produce release milestones for manufacturing
Purpose of Documentation
* Cost and Schedule Estimation
* Building Specification
* Inspection Detailing
Problem with PCB Documentation Today
* Tools today are NOT designed for PCB documentation
* Tools used require extensive translation of data
* Documentation process is long, as high as 40% of design cycle
* ECOs, even small, require same documentation time
* Process is unintelligent and manual, prone to error
* Solutions and output vary from company to company
* Critical link in the design chain is made of paper
BluePrint's Value
Product success requires solid execution. Documentation provides zero end product value, but requires skilled PCB Designers to produce it. Poor documentation increases manufacturing complexity.
* Lower risk of shipment delay owning to deviations and MCO approvals
Key Features and Functions:
Full Importation of PCB CAD File
BluePrint uses PCB CAD data to drive the documentation process. Components, pins, assembly mounting sides, layers, vias, nets, assembly variants, part attributes, drill holes and symbols, are just a few of the data records that can be imported into BluePrint to accurately create PCB document elements.
User Benefit: Creates PCB documentation elements intelligently and accurately. Reduces error prone manual methods of document creation.
Multi-media Import Formats
Digital content such as JPEGs, BMPs, GIF, etc may be imported and used in the drawing. BluePrint also allows the importation and use of audio and video files to be imported and stored with the documentation package. The multi-media files may be linked within the documentation drawings. BluePrint invokes the users registered media player to play the audio/video file. This function allows users to use multi-media applications such as video recording the process for a complex sub assembly, in addition to the traditional note and detail approach to PCB documentation. The result is clearer instructions with less ambiguity and potential for deviation in the manufacturing process.
User Benefit: Creates new opportunities to articulate complex manufacturing instructions. Reduces chance of error in fabrication and assembly.
Exotic File Importation
Data from other Windows® applications can be imported and used in the BluePrint documentation package. BluePrint imports PDF, RS274X, DXF, XML, ODB++, JPEG, GIF, TIF, BMP. BluePrint’s clipboard function also allows cutting and pasting with other applications including text and raster graphics.
Drag, Drop, Draw
All elements are added by dragging and dropping.
* Pallet elements
* Import Task Pane elements
* Mechanical Component views
* Gallery elements
Fast Drawing Element Placement
All drawing elements: PCB Views, Charts, details, text boxes, note blocks, etc; are treated as elements on the drawing and can be quickly added and modified as needed by the user. Each element may be scaled, formatted, transformed (Rotated, mirrored, flipped, etc) independently of each other element. There is no limit on the number of elements that can be placed on a drawing.
User Benefit: Faster document creation and editing.
