PCB DFM Guidelines

Design for manufacturability, or DFM, is a design process methodology that has been around for many years. When PCB layout designers were more isolated, pushing DFM problems down the line was common, typically in manufacturing. However, workflows like that have changed as technology has evolved and time to market has decreased. It has become imperative…
