Design for Manufacture

Access world-class DFM analysis, powered by Valor NPI, no setup required. Use DFM rules created by your preferred supplier, and easily upload your designs in ODB++, IPC2581, Gerber274x and many other common CAD formats. Assembly Included PCBflow merges accurate part geometry to your design (provided by VPL), and tests for assembly problems so you can adjust your board before its too late.
PCBflow is a broad collaborative platform

Designed to accelerate, simplify and improve the handoff process from design to production. Designers and manufacturers can connect to share and collaborate on the platform, and instantly deliver designs to production.
Quick Pricing

Designers can now immediately get an accurate price estimate for the manufacturing and assembly of any design, simply by requesting a QuickPrice from within PCBflow, powered by Boardera.

Smart, self-explanatory and interactive

DFM report includes critical violation highlights, statistics and much more. Powered by Siemens, Valor, an industry standard for DFM analysis.
Get-to-market faster

Save time and costs in the design-to manufacturing handoff process by addressing manufacturability challenges during the design phase.

For any industry, from consumer electronics, medical devices to automotive and aerospace, PCBflow empowers and connects PCB designers to manufacturers and part suppliers to accelerate, simplify and improve the handoff process from design to manufacture.
A Secure, cloud-based, collaborative environment with no IT investment, nothing to download or install! Supporting designs in ODB++, IPC2581, Gerber274x and many other common CAD formats.

Creat mature designs earlier

As a cloud-based tool, PCBflow requires no installation or configuration. Designers can simply upload ODB++Design files into the secure cloud environment and select one or more manufacturers to apply process capabilities to the DFM analysis. PCBflow even supports flex and rigid-flex DFM analysis. PCBflow provides an interactive online viewer that enables drill-down and investigation of design faults, secure in-app sharing and collaboration, and a downloadable PDF report.

PCBflow guides designers through the manufacturability design errors, including manufacturing risk analysis. DFA analysis enables BOM validation based on manufacturer part numbers using the Valor Part Library database, and exposes component placement problems and potential assembly issues. In addition, PCBflow allows designers to review and track updates in the context of design violations, minimizing back-and-forth with manufacturing partners and making it simple to validate and optimize designs.

Users can see, pan, zoom and navigate through all board layers, seeing all details, including component geometry. They can easily fully investigate the DFM analysis with an interactive result viewer that automatically zooms to the location of the result being investigated. Designers can easily and securely upload ODB++, IPC2581 and Gerber 274x designs to PCBflow and run comprehensive DFM analysis instantly, online, at any time.

A new vision for electronics manufacturing

PCBflow accelerates the design-to-manufacturing handoff by providing a secure environment in which PCB design teams and manufacturers can connect to share and collaborate, and instantly deliver designs to production. It enables designers to rapidly perform a wide range of DFM analyses specific to the process capabilities of a selected manufacturing facility.

PCBflow is an online tool and collaboration space, connecting designers directly with manufacturers. It enables a DFM analysis using the current constraints for a specific manufacturer during the early stages of the design process, reducing design iterations, costs and time-to-market.

PCBflow enables a two-way workflow, left and right, between designers and manufacturers.

PCBflow reimagines the electronics design-to-production process. PCBflow lets you optimize your designs for manufacturing at any time, from any location and with no IT investment.
The beginning of a broad collaborative platform that aims to connect the electronic manufacturing ecosystem, simplify collaboration and streamline the design-to-manufacturing process.
