Find the failure on paper,before the line finds it for you<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

Send Gerber or ODB++ and BOM files. An EBest PCBA engineer checks your design against real PCB and PCBA process limits, then sends back a practical DFM report within 24 hours. Free. NDA available first. You keep the report either way.<\/p>\r\n

A quote tells you price. A DFM review tells you whether the board can be built safely. Before you commit to fabrication or assembly, we check the files against the process limits, footprint realities and assembly risks that CAD DRC often cannot see.<\/p>\r\n

Your CAD DRC Can Pass. Production Can Still Fail.<\/h2>\r\n

Most design teams already run DRC before sending files. The problem is that DRC only checks the rules configured in the CAD tool. It may not know the factory’s depanel limit, whether a library footprint actually matches the component pin, or whether a package will create solder reliability risk on the line.<\/p>\r\n

This Review Is Built For:<\/h2>\r\n

If one of these sounds like your project, send the files before release. The goal is to catch manufacturability, BOM and assembly risks while they are still easy to fix.<\/p>\r\n

<\/span>The findings<\/div>\r\n

The Report Does Not Say “Risk Somewhere.” It Names the Part.<\/h2>\r\n

A useful engineering report must be specific enough for your layout engineer to fix the file without a meeting. Each flag points to the exact component, side, issue, standard value, actual value and recommended correction.<\/p>\r\n

C553 – too close to board edge<\/h3>

A chip was only 2.51 mm from the board outline against a 3.0 mm process limit. That creates depanel and handling stress risk.<\/p>

Q42 – pin heel beyond pad<\/h3>

The LFPAK56 MOSFET footprint did not fully support the pin heel. This is a library error that can create poor soldering.<\/p>
