It is very important to give your manufacturer all the necessary information so your board is produced correctly, but what information does the manufacturer actually need to produce your board? This episode of Whiteboard Wednesdays will discuss the fabrication data package and what files are needed to ensure your manufacturer produces your board correctly.
Learn more about how the manufacturing process affects the PCB design as well as best practices throughout the PCB design process with our e-book: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to PCB Design.
