Engineering where you need it most on a board.....

Front-end engineering is arguably one of the most crucial steps in the PCB manufacturing process. PCB data that is not thoroughly checked to verify its suitability for manfacture, can transfer unforseen errors and problems into production potentially rendering the final circuit unfit for purpose.

Our comprehensively equipped CAM department utilises the latest revisions of UCAM and VisualCAM software to check and verify your electronic PCB data. All incoming data is Design Rule Checked (DRC) to ensure it meets our standard production and pcb manufacturing capabilities. Linked directly to our shop floor production systems and darkroom facility we are able to engineer data to the highest standard and efficiently produce accurate, bespoke photo-tooling to meet the tightest of production deadlines.

Our Capabilities

CAD Screen
  •  Full design rule checking and data
    verification prior to manufacture.
  •  Automatic tooling scripts to increase
    manufacturing efficiency and panel yields.
  •  Accurate generation of all necessary NC drill
    and rout files.
  • Bespoke panelisation to customer
    requirements.
  • Generation of SMT solder stencils
  •  NC data optimisation to reduce drill path
    lengths and decrease machining time.
  •  On panel calculation of plating currents
    to improve plating accuracy.
  •  High resolution photo-plotting up to 8,000 dpi
    in a climate controlled darkroom.
Useful links.
We have provided links to several websites that provide useful tools and information to help you with the engineering of your next PCB.
VCAM Download Link

VisualCAM is our main CAM software. By downloading this viewer you can view our completed tooling files to aid with problem solving or panelisation verification etc.

Trace Width Calculator PCB Trace Width Calculator is a useful online tool for calculating required track widths & temperature rises on PCB's. There are also several other PCB design calculator tools on this site that you may find useful.
GCPrevue GCPrevue is a free Gerber viewer that allows you to view and verify your Gerber file outputs prior to sending them to us for manufacture.
