From the manufacturing side, I like to be supplied a panelized and
dimensioned array drawing. It reduces the opportunity for errors in creating
the tooling as well as cycle time in front end engineering. However, we do
like to be involve early in the design stage so we can suggest array designs
that are optimized for material usage and manufacturability.

When it comes to panelization, it's important that the designer and
manufacturer learn each others needs and use the same panelization software
tool.

Subject: [DC] PANALIZATION


>Hi All,
> I need your in-the-trenches opinions on panalization dwgs. An engineer at
another plant of ours, wants us to include a panalization dwg with our pcb
fab dwg to "reduce cost and provide complete design integrity against a
vendor incorrectly scoring or putting perforating tabs in the wrong place".
I think of this as methodising a process that I don't have to, but I may be
wrong. It has also been suggested that we provide dimensions for HASL
instead of using a min/max note, again I have never been bit by this
problem, I believe that if you have a good team relationship with your
suppliers you both make money, thanks.
