Hi Steve, UCAM and Valor are popular in China Tom "Mariani, Stephen" <[log in to unmask]> дµÀ£º 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 Stephen J.
