Designing a PCB for automatic assembly and full production runs requires a few design changes from an initial prototype PCB run. Today most PCBs are assembled and tested with automated machines from the data from PCB drawing files. With up to 80% of a new product's cost determined by the first prototype build, avoiding late changes and designing with manufacturing in mind can have a significant impact on the product cost, reliability, and yield of a PCB design. Luckily, if some good choices are made early in the design process, designing a PCB for manufacturing is relatively straight forward with few pitfalls.

This 2000L 2LE model is capable of imaging a maximum size 24” x 24” PC board or film size. With any large format film, positional accuracy can be a challenge but the Miva’s dynamic scaling feature can increase accuracy to minimize tolerance build-ups during the imaging process. Due to Miva’s optical registration system, innerlayer drill break-out will be reduced considerably on densely routed signal layers which will significantly improve yields. For sub-20-mil pitch parts or micro BGAs, a 2−3 mil solder dam will be possible to eliminate bridging during the assembly process.
