Design For Manufacturing checks at  Pre-Production Engineering DFM_at_Engineering

Excel Electrocircuit, Inc.  uses Frontline Genesis (previously known as "Valor") exclusively for all CAM data.

First implemented in-house in 1998,  this highly automated platform is interlinked with the custom built Production Control System, quoted specifications, customer-specific criteria database, and manufacturing processes.

PCB Genesis DFM design check

Any discrepancies between quoted values, IPC-600-A guidelines, customer-specific requirements, or in-house manufacturing capabilities are identified during the Design Analysis DFM phase. 



This facilitates rapid resolve of any issues that would impact functionality of your product, and assures the product you receive from Excel Electrocircuit functions per your design.
