DownStream Technologies’ New Software Releases Support Flex, Rigid Flex and Embedded Component Designs712370

Downstream Technologies LLC has released the new versions of its industry-leading PCB Post Processing solutions CAM350 / DFMStream Version 14.5 and BluePrint-PCB Version 6. With these releases, both products now support the importation and visualization of CAD designs containing Flex, Rigid Flex and Embedded component data in both 2D and 3D views.

“Flex and Embedded Component designs have become more popular as electronic products have become smaller and more complex, especially in the military, aerospace, medical and commercial markets,” said Rick Almeida, one of DownStream’s Founders. “With these new releases our tools support full Flex/Rigid Flex bi-directional passing of stack-up data, as well as unique documentation features not found in any tools" he added.

This release is the first of several planned releases supporting Flex, Rigid Flex and Embedded Components. It focuses on importing and visualizing Flex / Rigid Flex data created by PCB CAD tools in our 2D & 3D View Ports, as well as easily documenting complex Rigid / Rigid Flex Stack-Ups and provides the ability to share that documentation with PCB Fabricators.

Key Highlights and Features to Support for Flex/ Rigid and Embedded Components:

  • Import / Export ODB++ and IPC 2581 Modification
  • Import / Export Modification to support PCB Core Material Data
  • Stack-Up Visualizer Modification
  • 3D View Port Modification
  • Area Tool Modification
  • DFM Analysis Modification
  • Parametric Solder and Paste Mask Generation
  • Assembly Panel Creation
  • New Documentation Objects
  • Output Generation

Availability

CAM350 / DFMStream Version 14.5 and BluePrint-PCB Version 6 will be available December 2020 to all Downstream customers as part of a maintenance release. Actual features and content will vary based on the end-user configurations. Contact local sales offices for configurations and pricing.
