  • Abstract
    The application of the design for manufacture (DFM) approach to the design of printed circuit boards is discussed. A system of design rules is used to ensure that designs meet manufacturing-related needs. The rules capture the requirements of factory processes, so that the needs of manufacturing are considered automatically in the design process. Further, they are flexible, and can be easily adapted to the requirements of different products, factories, and manufacturing processes. Bare-board testing and in-circuit test audits are run to ensure that the board will be testable after fabrication and assembly.<>
