Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of DFM?

To add unnecessary cost to the product design

To optimize the design and ensure manufacturability (correct)

To skip the manufacturing process and go straight to product launch

To create unreliable and low-quality products

What is the difference between DFM and DRC?

DFM checks for potential manufacturing issues in PCB topology, while DRC checks for problems in connectivity and spacing. (correct)

DFM checks for problems in connectivity and spacing, while DRC checks for potential manufacturing issues in PCB topology.

DFM and DRC are interchangeable terms for the same process.

DFM and DRC both address issues related to PCB fabrication and assembly processes.

What are the two technologies used in drilling for PCB manufacturing?

Chemical and laser drilling

Study Notes

DFM is the manufacturer's opinion on the manufacturability of products.
It ensures that the design is optimized and does not have unnecessary cost embedded in it.
DFM is critical manufacturing tooling design and process development step before making a new product.
It assures quality, reliability, and productivity through the life of the product.
DFM for PCB is a set of design guidelines that attempt to ensure manufacturability.
Both designers and manufacturers use DFM to prevent issues.
DFM analysis software can prevent many issues.
It tests the design in a production facility condition, instead of in an R&D lab or a computer simulation.
DFM incorporates all designs for the bill of materials (BOM) and the final assembly.
With effectively designed instruments, it is conceivable to accomplish the right look, feel, precision, and efficiency of your high-end PCB.
