I may just do that. Lets see how the bench mark goes first. 
I am looking for tools comparable to Valor, CAM350.
Thanks for your help
Steve

Subject: Re: [DC] CAM Tools


I would love to see the results of your benchmark.
Would you consider publishing it? I bet PC Design
Magazine would, or Route.

I use the free ViewMate tool, because I don't
edit gerbers, I just look at 'em.
 
Curious about capabilities vs limitations vs price 
at the next level, though. Even a brief synopsis of
what the journey was like would be interesting.

good luck,
Jack

	I have been tasked to do a benchmark on the leading 5 CAM tools.
	So far the tools I know about are:
	
	Valor: http://www.valor.com
	
	CAM350: http://www.downstreamtech.com/
	
	Not sure what other tools are out there. Can anyone help, maybe
you have 
	experience with a good CAM tool. We typically do 26 to 32 layer
boards,
	sequential builds (Micro via, blind via, buried via) Lots of
split
	planes. Our host design tool is Cadence Allegro. We are
currently using
	15.5 and migrating to 15.7.
	
	Thanks in advance,
	Steve
