Hi Jerry,

At Praegitzer Design we use the Genesis 2000 and/or Enterprise 
3000 software from Valor Computerized Systems Inc. to check
our designs for DFM. It is the same CAM software used by our 
fabrication facilities. It is compatable with Cadence, Mentor 
and accepts most fabrication output data types. It only checks 
the design for a class of manufacturability that you setup and 
does not check all the extensive matrix of design rules and 
highspeed rules that you can setup in the Cadence Allegro system.

Here is a contact at Valor:
