- The new Valor® NPI [New Product Introduction] release from Mentor provides an automated printed circuit board (PCB) design-for-manufacturing (DFM) flow, replacing traditional, manual error-prone processes.
- DFM rules set-up time can be reduced from weeks to days.
- Based on the industry’s market-leading Valor NPI technology, critical design data is automatically extracted to derive PCB technology classifications for appropriate manufacturing process constraints.
- The new Valor NPI application democratizes DFM by providing ease-of-use benefits to PCB designers without having to become DFM subject-matter experts.
