In this video, the PCB designer will begin a design for assembly (DFA) analysis on the fully placed and optimized board using Valor NPI. Design for assembly ensures that the part placement will work for production.
Analysis can be done multiple times throughout the design's life and should be done as part of part placement approval before the routing stage. This design for assembly analysis can help avoid wasted time later on in the design lifecycle. The time and resource cost of repair or failure due to an incorrect component placement issue or faulty solder joint can be a huge setback. Valor NPI provides the tools to fully prepare this design for production and ensure the highest product quality.
