Prevent Copper Wear and Short Circuits with Rules-Driven Design Prevent Copper Wear and Short Circuits with Rules-Driven Design The phrase “PCB design” might seem to emphasize design, but it actually includes all aspects of printed circuit board manufacturing. Without the proper attention to design for manufacturability (DFM), a design might be sent back to a designer for corrections and further review by a CAM engineer. DFM is meant to ensure a board can be produced with high yield and is best implemented in rules-driven design software. When you need to follow important Read Article
