Paper
COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN, MANUFACTURE AND TEST OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS AT IBM.
Abstract
IBM's approach to computer assistance in the design, manufacture and test of printed circuit boards is described. As a result of the company's worldwide organization, it is impossible to share databases between development and manufacturing systems. However, the use of formal data interfaces enables the integration of the separate processes of design, manufacture and test into what is effectively a single CADMAT (computer-aided design, manufacture, and test) system.
