3D Export for PCB Layouts: STEP, OBJ and WebGL
When 2D PCB data is no longer enoughPCB layouts often start and end as 2D data, but product development rarely stays in one dimension. Once enclosure design, mechanical integration, or…

Creepage Analysis: prevent safety issues before they reach productionOnce a PCB design moves above 30 V, creepage is no longer a theoretical compliance item. It becomes a practical safety requirement…
From first design to production readinessIn PCB development, the visible layout is only part of the story. The details that determine quality and manufacturability often sit deeper in the design…
Catch thermal issues before the prototype stageIn PCB development, thermal problems often surface too late—after layout is finalized, during bring-up, or once the first prototype is already on the bench.…
Why open data formats matter in electronics manufacturingIn electronics manufacturing, project success is determined not only by the design itself, but also by the quality of the manufacturing data that…
Keep everything in view from development to productionWhen engineering, fabrication, and quality teams rely on separate tools, gaps appear quickly: duplicated checks, inconsistent data, and unnecessary risk during handover. PCB-Investigator…
Why a design report matters in the PCB workflowIn many development projects, time is lost not in the PCB design itself, but in follow-up questions, incomplete documentation, and unclear handoffs…
Prepare production before errors become expensiveIn PCB manufacturing, success is not determined by design alone. It also depends on how well a layout can actually be produced. That is exactly…
The lean ECAD edition for PCB design reviewIn many development projects, the winning approach is not the tool with the most features, but the one that helps teams make fast,…
The full PCB workflow in one data environmentWhat if your entire PCB workflow from first layout to production and test lived in one single environment? That is the core idea…
