<p>Our Eurocircuits team was very exited to present our newest tool: PCBA Visualizer. Our PCB Visualizer tool for DRC/DFM analysis of the bare board has established itself as proven value to our customers. PCBA Visualizer or Assembly Visualizer is the natural extension of PCB Visualizer. PCBA Visualizer offers DRC-DFM functionality on the populated board even before anything has been produced thus allowing to fix mistakes at minimal cost.</p>
<p>PCBA Visualizer has been received with a lot of fantastic feedback but also many questions about how you can utilise the PCBA Visualizer to save time and money by Verifying your Gerber data matches your Bill Of Materials (BoM) and Component Placement List (CPL), an early warning system to identify data issues and eventually resolve them online.</p>
<p>You may have noticed when saving your offer the option to participate in our Beta testing <img src="http://relay.eurocircuits.com/sendy/uploads/bom_data.jpg" style="padding-top:10px"></p>
<p>In order to take advantage of this tool and understanding how you can benefit and correct your data please take 15 minutes to look at our PCBA Visualizer video below:</p>
