What part of the country are you located? I know numerous stencil manufacturers in the country that I could refer you to. The one we currently use is Stentech and guarantee next day delivery for basic laser cut stencils. They have always kept their w

Dear PCBFOX, I use CAM350 v12.2 build 1135. I am trying to use CAM350 DFMStream module for paste mask layer check. Examination I am interested in most of all is "Paste Mask Layer Check - Missing Paste Mask on SMD Pads (MP)", i.e. missing stencil ape

IMO – Look into nano-coatings for your stencil and radius all square apertures This should help out with solder paste releasing from the stencil helping with insufficient solder QFN LGA aperture design, try a stencil cut with a few different apertur

I am not sure that is doable. Ground Aperture is very small(for the stencil blade to get in there) and very close to the other apertures. I want to say the minimum requirement for step is 6mm clearance from other apertures for the stencil houses that

Thanks to @davef and @Evtimov for trying to help. It's useful but not exactly the answers I would like to get. I'm going to reformulate my question. I'm writing in mm so that it's more precise: I have a 0.12mm-thick stencil for some 0.4mm-pitch QFN

It is strange that you're having issues while using the same process parameters (including stencil) that worked successfully before. It doesn't guarantee that it's not one of those parameters changing in a manner that's not apparent, but it does sugg

I am about to order a stencil and I can already see that I'm going to have issues. I'm hoping someone has a recipe for this scenario that we haven't tried yet. The parts are 16 mil pitch bga's, the pads are NSMD (10 mil dia. with 12.6 mil mask open

1 to 1 stencil aperture to pad should be fine on the gull leads, and yield 100% coverage with leaded solder. The thermal pad is going to be a challenge though, if you truly need 100% coverage. There will be out gassing from the flux and this will nee
