Preferring to spend hours typing code instead of graphically pushing traces around in a PCB layout tool, [James Bowman] over at ExCamera Labs has developed CuFlow, a method for routing PCBs in Python.

It’s certainly not the first PCB router we’ve seen, but it may be one of the nicer ones. If you make a PCB this way, you might like to give it professional-looking solder mask with a laser.

In PCB designs that implement high data rates, optimized routing must be taken into consideration to guarantee excellent signal quality performance. Chang Fei Yee has been working at Keysight since ...

To provide PCB designers with an automated, intelligent planning and routing environment, semiconductor design tool leader Cadence Design Systems Inc. is unveiling global route environment technology ...

When PCB layout tools were first introduced, they weren’t much better for routing traces than using an etch-a-sketch. Today, constraint-driven automation approaches have reduced the time required to ...

DATE2002: Innoveda works for faster PCB routeNews team Innoveda has added to its PowerPCB printed circuit board (PCB) design tool with an enhanced automatic routing capability. “Our customers who deal ...

Slated for May 10, the race boasts a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike and a 13.1-mile run. "We have been doing it for over 40 years," Dan Rowe, president and CEO of Visit PCB, said of the race.

Mentor Graphics has made its move into 3D design for PCBs with a tool which brings the power of 3D visualisation into classic PCB place and route design. This is the first of a number of changes to ...
