Advanced Circuits’ PCB Check Plot Available Online, in Minutes, for Free

Printed Circuit Board Check Plot Online improves prototyping accuracy with ability to review designs prior to PCB manufacturing

Aurora, CO (PRWEB) April 15, 2006 -- Advanced Circuits, the only quick-turn printed circuit board manufacturer with industry-leading, real-time customer service, today announced the availability of Check Plot Online, a PDF preview tool that provides engineers with an accurate and convenient view of PCB designs prior to production.

Avoid Costly Printed Circuit Board Design
“Traditional Gerber viewers don’t always show the actual manufactured image without time-consuming setup,” said Ron Huston, founder and CEO of Advanced Circuits. “Our new PCB Check Plot Online delivers an accurate representation of the final design in a PDF format, allowing engineers to avoid costly redesign efforts and project delays once a circuit board moves into the manufacturing phase.”

Using Check Plot Online, engineers simply upload Gerber files to Advanced Circuits’ FreeDFM.com Web site and receive feedback within minutes, as opposed to hours or days with other manufacturers. The feedback highlights potential design for manufacturability problems and suggests modifications. The free service requires no commitment to order. Check Plot Online allows engineers the opportunity to remedy potential problems before declaring their design “complete.” Often times, minor errors can cause embarrassing and costly project delays.

“This enhancement to FreeDFM.com is a direct result of feedback we’ve received from our PCB customers,” said John Yacoub, president of Advanced Circuits. “In fact, many of our printed circuit board customers tell us the FreeDFM service has been a lifesaver for them.”

Advanced Circuits Check Plot Online is available through its FreeDFM.com service. Engineers can view a sample of the PDF format at http://www.freedfm.com/checkplot.
